Stop Everything — Someone Made a Groot Christmas Tree

Dec 21 2015 - 3:45pm

If you thought dancing baby Groot [1] was awesome, just wait till you check this out. An artist by the name Woolfen Moondaughter [2] created a Christmas tree topper modeled after the Guardians of the Galaxy alien superhero. Of course, his sidekick, Rocket Raccoon, is there, too. He did it in 2014 but it's the perfect addition to any tree this year and always.

In a blog post, Moondaughter mentioned how the idea came about [3] after her friend insisted that she wanted a Groot tree for the holidays. "I used an old CD spool cover as a base, covered it first with foam (and an oval shampoo cap, to give the mouth form) and screwed some plastic eyes in (and cracked it -- d'oh!)," she wrote. "I then covered it in Crayola Model Magic, adding some pipe cleaners for twigs, and painted him with acrylic."

Can't get enough? See more more photos of Groot and Rocket in all their Christmas glory here and on her Flickr page [4].
