Covering a Bow quiver with deer skin?

[Lone archer]

I have I GFA quiver that I removed the wool covering the broadhead cover. I now need ideas on cutting and attaching the deer skin (no hair) to the plastic and sticthing it. Any pic's by anyone.

I glued a tanned elk scrotum to my leather Selway bowquiver. Don't know if that helps or not. Maybe stitch in a pouch shape , wet it and stretch it over the cover. When it dries to shape and size remove and glue.

Owlbait if you play with Elk scrotum please keep it to your self you may give trad guys and gals a bad name

Let me start by saying I have never done that. But if I were to try it I would use a piece of thick scrap cloth, maybe an old pair of jeans something close to the thickness of your hide, and cut out a rough shape.  Then I would use clips to hold the material on the quiver at the same spot and on the back side start marking and cutting until there was a fit I could live with.  That would give you a good pattern to use.  

If you are real careful you could use Barge cement to apply it to the quiver or a small drill bit to make a hole in both and stitch the bottom.  There was a build-a-long on here a few weeks ago where a fellow showed a couple pics of his stitching when he added leather to a quiver.
