Started out by measuring my longest arrow then adding a few inches for easy removal out of the soon to be quiver. Then I took the perforated plastic sheets and started the semi rigid frame of the quiver using garbage ties as a temporary means to secure the frame.

I then tied the frame together using artificial sinew.

Then I measured for my foam in the bottom and made a mark on the frame for it. I then continued to measure, mark and cut out the opening in the quiver for arrow installation and removal.

I laid out my inner/outer material which is fleece. Marked my two pieces and cut them out.

I test fitted the outer piece with pins, then I was off to the wife’s sewing machine for a quick lesson. Then I was full bore sewing!

The outer fit was perfect! First timers luck right?

The inner piece fit just as I wanted also. It was a little tighter and then the hand sewing of the inner piece was on!

Inner and outer piece are now in place. Ready to finish off the opening and put in the foam for the bottom.

Ok, so the foam in the bottom needed and actual “bottom”. I decided on a hard plastic Folgers coffee can lid. I hot glued the foam pieces to the lid and as you can see It was a little to hot. Maybe next time I will use the actual hot glue gun and not just a torch and a stick of glue!

Now everything but the strap is done. Foam is in, I put a removable hood on the top and the bottom is sealed!! Tomorrow will be the strap day. I have a different idea for this and its going to take some thinking.

Looking back on my new quiver there a few things I would like to do different next time to make it more appealing to the eye. But for 23 dollars I can live with my mistakes!!

Thanks for looking at my quiver

wow, I just spent $100 on a quiver that does not look much different. :confused:

thanks guys! I made a small back quiver a few minutes ago for the wife as well. And there is still enough of the plastic left over to make 1 of each style again. All I need is another yard of fabric!

here is the wife's. I didn't line this one cause she will never have anything but field points in it.
