Frontline mini binman with bin. Part of my frontline heroes mini series (NHS worker and postmen available in my shop).

This doll is quick and easy to make, can be done in an evening and due to it’s size (5”) it’s suitable for keyrings, bag charms or even to hang from the rear-view mirror.

US thermology.
Pattern includes 2 files. One to make the binman and a separate template for the bin you can print and cut out. Easy - peasy :)
