I’m documenting this at the beginning of the year to see how the story concludes by the end of 2026.

I started following earlier this year and she inspired me to craft a trinket tree or two (or three or four 😜) for Christmas next year. I’ve been watching YouTube videos to learn the best way to glue them together and also get a supply list. I think I’m ready to go! The hardest part is collecting all the trinkets! I know I can easily buy them online, but finding them out in the wild is soooo much more fun! I went to an estate sale a few weeks ago and found a bunch to start my collection. I’m excited to get this trinket party started!

Ideally I’d like to use vintage bottlebrush trees that I find while I’m estate sale-ing, but I bought a bunch of new ones on clearance the other day as a backup.
•
I’ll add updates throughout the year as my collection grows. Follow along to see what trinkets I find and perhaps you’ll be inspired to make your own trinket tree!

Happy New Year and Happy Trinketing!
