To make the arrow holder, paint the oatmeal box brown and allow to dry. Trim the fabric belt to the desired length. Using hot glue, attach the fabric belt to the oatmeal box at both the top and bottom. Allow to cool. Place the dowels in the oatmeal container. - 3). Put on tights, homespun shirt and brown sweatshirt armor. Pull the sweatshirt down low, resembling a tunic. Wrap a brown leather belt around your waist.
