And Wizz & Roz representing Book Week 2026!! 📚✨ The amount of questions I’ve had about how I made these two has been crazy 😂 I think I’ll make a tutorial for next year 👏

The making of “Winner Winner Bin Chicken Dinner!” 🗑️🐦😂

When your kid wants to be an Ibis for Book Week… you make it happen! Safe to say I’m pretty confident there won’t be another bin chicken in the parade 🤣

Thanks KATE and JOL TEMPLE – We write books for kids!!! for writing such a cool book 📖

Anyone wanting to recreate, it’s pretty easy and simple to do, trip to Bunnings for a bin, add some garbage, make some wings out of cardboard and cover with material and add feathers, grab a cheap beanie and add a beak & eyes (and a tin on top!) 👍
