As a designer of purses, Gary offers the following tips for those interested in DIY projects and for beginners.

1. Understand the fabric you have chosen to work with. Knowing about the texture of the fabric can help in better designing.

2. Think outside the box when it comes to design. Conventional is boring and you should create your own niche.

3. Shape is very important. From basic square to abstract organic- the possibilities are endless.

4. Employ your creative faculties.
