Continue rolling diapers and then group multiple diapers together. Wrap the group of diapers together to create one tier. Use a larger, stretchy rubber band or baker's twine to hold the entire tier together.

Finish all 3 tiers and stack them one on top of the other. You'll need 2 larger tiers and one smaller tier on top to create Baby Yoda's body. Dress the diapers with a Toddler Boy's Star Wars™ Yoda Costume. Secure the velcro fasteners tightly around the diaper tiers.
