Below, Kate and Ailish explain how the inspiration for the costume came about:
"As we were thinking about recyclable materials to use for our costume, we noticed there was a lot of waste associated with lunch times in our school.

"Once we had collected enough sandwich bags and utensils, we started to experiment with unusual ways to manipulate this source material and to debate what would work well for the costume.
"We ended up doing lots of experiments and had great fun trying different things out before we eventually settled on the final idea.
The Dublin Final of Junk Kouture will air on RTÉ2 tonight at 7pm.
Will the girls make it to the World Final in Dubai in August? Tune in!
