Crafty Beggars
Season 1
20147 episodes
Each episode, two teams of crafty contestants hit the town with a meagre £20 budget and a box of basic craft essentials – in order to make ingenious crafty creations, they have to beg, buy and borrow the items they need. These handmade products are then put up to sell on a pop-up shop in Brighton, the very next day!
