I am blessed to be able to stay home with the kids this summer so we are going to get some crafts going and less TV time. So to start We are building a simple back quiver. I founds some plans on the net and went shopping for supplies. We go this scrap peice of leather for $21.00.

Then we cut the piece down to the size we wanted traced the edge lines and marked where the holes would be

Next we got some stress relief

Here it is after all the holes have been punched.

And then I guess I got lazy because I didn't get pictures of us stiching it up but here it is as it stands. Still need to add a back strap and finish up some decrative stiches.

Good job! I remember how much I loved making stuff with my parents and how it fueled the desire for future projects.
Looks like they are starting to get into music too! Another thing that can positively effect them throughout their lifes.
