How To Make A Quiver for Your Elf Costume

Making a quiver for your elf costume is easy. All you need are a few basic craft supplies and some woodworking tools. You can find most of the materials at a big-box home improvement store or a crafts store.

The first step is to cut two pieces of foam board into rectangles that measure 24 inches by 7 inches. Next, cut two pieces of balsa wood into rectangles that measure 15 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. To create the bottom of the quiver, cut another piece of balsa wood into a rectangle that measures 14 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches.

To join the pieces together, use polyurethane glue or wood glue to attach the small piece of balsa wood to one of the long pieces. Then attach one of the piece of foam board to the other side of the small piece. Repeat this process with the second set of pieces, making sure to leave an opening between them large enough for your arrows.

To reinforce and seal the quiver, use duct tape to cover all four sides and overlap it slightly on the inside edge so there are no gaps between strips. If you want to add straps, you can attach them with more duct tape or sew them on with fishing

So you’re an elf, and you know what elves have? Quivers.

An elf needs a quiver that is comfortable, durable, and goes with the rest of their ensemble. The following will be a step-by-step guide on how to make a quiver for your elf costume.

1. Decide where to attach it: Most quivers are attached to the back of the belt, but if you want to go for a more original look, you can attach it to your shoulder or side. You can also get creative and put it somewhere else (though I don’t recommend on top of your hat).

2. Get some felt: You’ll need several pieces of felt; the number will depend on how many layers you want your quiver to have.

3. Cut out your pieces: Place one piece of felt over another and cut them both at once so they are identical. Do this until you have as many pieces as you want layers. The size is up to you; a good rule of thumb is that they should be wide enough to comfortably hold 3 arrows each. The height should be about two inches shorter than your arrow shafts; this will give room for the feathers and nock at the end. Cut out holes

Hi, I wanted to make a quiver for my elf costume. I tried to buy one online but that was too expensive and the shipping time was too long. So I decided to make my own.

First, I got a box of medium length bamboo skewers from the grocery store. Then I cut a piece of cardboard into a rectangle big enough to fit the skewers. Then, I put a line of glue on the cardboard and stuck the skewers down on top of it like in the picture below.

Then I wrapped some brown duct tape around the cardboard and skewers to hold it all together. Then, I cut out 3 pieces of felt for each side of the quiver: 2 pieces for each side of one color and 1 piece of another color for in between them. The size should be long enough to cover half of the quiver with some extra at the bottom (this will become clear later). Also, remember that you will have to cut out two pieces for each side so make sure you trace something twice before cutting!

Then, glue your strips onto the quiver like in this picture:

I used hot glue because it dries faster but regular glue would work just as well.

Now your quiver is done! You can put

Make a quiver by repurposing an old purse or small backpack.

For your elf costume, you will need the following items:

1.) An old purse or small backpack

2.) A piece of rope or string

3.) Scissors

4.) Tape (optional)

This is a quiver I made for my son’s elf costume. It’s made from felt and cardboard. It was easy to make, and cost less than $5.

Supplies

1 yard of felt (I used a light green, but you can use whatever color you want)

1 piece of cardboard

fabric glue or a hot glue gun

Instructions

Cut the felt into an even rectangle, the size of your cardboard

Cover the cardboard in glue, then wrap the felt around it, overlapping at the ends. Glue those ends together on the inside of the tube. (Make sure not to get glue where the arrows go.)

Roll up the bottom edge and glue it in place. Cut small slits around the edge, if needed, to help it roll up more evenly. Leave about 1/2″ unrolled at each end; this will act as a stopper for your arrows.

Hi, I’m Michelle and I love to sew. And even better, I love to sew Halloween costumes! Halloween is my favorite holiday, so every year we make our own costumes. It’s a family event and we all look forward to it. This year I decided to make my boys elf costumes like the ones in “The Lord of the Rings”.

When I decided on their costumes, I knew they’d need quivers. The boys have never used a bow and arrow before, so they don’t really have a preference for where the arrows go. But since the boys would be using a bow and arrow for trick or treating, I knew safety would be an issue. So I decided to use plastic practice arrows instead of real ones.

I picked up some plastic practice arrows at Wal-Mart for about $1 for 3 arrows. They come in different colors, but you can only get 2 of the same color in a pack. So if you want your kids to match, you’ll need to buy several packages (or just paint them).

I used felt for this project because it’s inexpensive and readily available at any craft store. If you want to use real leather it would look even more authentic (and probably hold up better), but this is much cheaper!

They can be pretty expensive, so I decided to make one myself. I used a bow case that my husband had lying around. It was too big by itself, so I just cut it down till it was the desired length and width. Then I padded it with batting and lined it with fabric.

I chose a green fabric, but any color would work. If you have a long length of ribbon or trim, you could sew the fabric right sides together and turn it right side out. Then hand stitch along the opening to attach the ribbon and close the seam. If you prefer to use a sewing machine, you can use fusible interfacing (the kind you iron on) and just hem the edges to close it up when finished.

I also added elastic loops on both sides of the quiver to hold arrows in place.
