Paper toys 2022

It’s August already and time again to make my paper toys – our holiday ornaments announcing Hoss family gift giving assignments. This year’s toy celebrates the twins, Peter and Paul, my husband and brother-in-law, respectively.

The idea hatched as I found myself knee deep in boxes organizing for our move. Collecting like objects for packing I found high school and college sports trophies scattered all around the house. I’m not sure how we came to have Paul’s, but I took it as a sign.

These became this.

And then I remembered the photograph. I actually unpacked a few boxes to find it,

because it made all the difference – a fitting tribute to the little champions.
