North of the Border | Use Those Empty Toilet Rolls to Make a Wookiee Tree City! @NorthoftheBorder | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 23 seconds ago.
This is my Wookiee Tree (AKA Wroshyr Tree) from Star Wars--the Wroshyr are massive trees that grow on Kashyyyk and are where you'll find a wookie city. This one is made almost entirely from toilet paper and clay. I don't know if that's canon or not, but I'd like to think that there's a semblance of truth to it.

Now I know what some of you are thinking--how can you have a tree without an foliage!? Well:

1) I got a bit carried with sizing and ended up with a tree that's just too big for my small workspace.
b) I ran out of material (see point 1 as to why that happened).
and iii) I like to think of it as one of the plants you get from IKEA where they've poured wax over the top of the limbs, so that they don't grow too big in your little scandi-boho house. How forward thinking of you!
