Tips from the show

• Don't worry if your stencil work isn't perfect—the next layer will hide half of it anyway.
• You can stamp the design onto patterned paper with wood or leather effects for a realistic handbag look.
• Make several handbags in different colours and share them with crafty friends or use as embellishments.
