Question

How long does the leather have to be?

Community Answer

I would say as long as you'd like it to be, but make sure to first measure your arrows, to make sure they will fit. Also take into consideration your height, because you might need to make it longer to fit your proportions. Most quivers are somewhere between 20-30 inches long though.

Question

Would PVC work to make a quiver?

Community Answer

It wouldn't be very attractive, but it definitely would work and would be lightweight to carry around. You could drill holes in each end to attach the strap and then glue a PVC cap to one end to hold the arrows inside.

Question

What can I use instead of sewing?

Community Answer

Hot glue might work as a temporary solution, but if you want your quiver to last you should probably sew it shut.

Question

Can I make a quiver out of a skirt?

Community Answer

You can try, but I don't think it will work because a skirt is likely too soft, so it probably won't hold its shape. Something harder like leather would be a better choice.

Can I make it from wood?

Community Answer

You can, but it would be very complicated to carve it and heavy when you carry it around.

Question

Could I have the quiver hang from my lower back or waist, like in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

Community Answer

You definitely can! After you make a slit in the quiver, you can slip that down through a belt and adjust it around your hips however you want it.

Question

Would a cotton shirt work when making a quiver for arrows?

Community Answer

Yes, but something like leather would be better because cotton is very light so it might not hold its shape very well.

What sort of string should I use?

Use a leather belt or a sling shoulder strap for comfort. However, if you want it cheap, paracord is the best alternative.
