Hi folks, I'm back at it again with the paper towel and hockey tape.

My LIM Arthur Morgan was a fantastic addition to my collection. One part of his numerous accessories included a bow and arrow.

Now, I felt that an arrow, even just one, substituted reason enough to have a quiver made.

I dusted off my paper towel and tape and got to work.

I laid down enough to roll into a small tube, with excess at each ends to accommodate the closing of the tube, and a fold-over. I painted it and treated it with some floor polish and mod podge.

I used an off-cut for a band, which wrapped around the tube and covered a small tab I had made to hold a bent piece of paper clip for a loop, to which I glued a small loop to go over a belt.

The photos illustrate it better than I can describe it.

A little rough but functional. If I had the extra materials I could've prettied it up a bit but it serves me just fine as a concept in its current state.

That's really creative and looks quite good, it has a bit of a "stiffness" to it which fits something like a quiver.

If I had one complaint about this set, which is one of the best boxed figure sets I’ve ever gotten, is the single arrow and lack of a quiver. You solved one issue perfectly, the other is going to be a little trickier, unless you can hunt down multiple loose arrows being sold from this set (or make your own to match). I’ll probably forgo using the bow and arrow myself.

It's a proper shame, the arrow itself is a great piece, metal and sturdy. If I can find some thin enough skewers or something I might get crafty and make some to help fill out the quiver. May even strap some of the dynamite sticks to some as well.
