Tears of an Angel

Create a Unique Angel Ornament to Remember
This special collection of angel photographs can be printed onto paper and made into a unique angel ornament. Follow the simple steps:

  • Print out the Angel image on paper.
    • To print the full page find the "Print" at the bottom of the page.
    • To print just the image, right click with your mouse and pick "print."
  • Cut out the Image. You may want to cut it out larger, like a card so you can write a letter or special note on the insider for your loved one.
  • Embellish the cutout angel with words, stickers and other decorations.
  • Punch a hole in the top of the card.
  • Add a ribbon, string or wire hanger.
  • Lovingly place the ornament on your Christmas tree or wherever you hang you holiday decorations.
  • Remember that your special ornament can be used not only during the holiday season, but beyond. After the holidays are done, hang the ornament in a place you will see it and continue to remember, such as over you desk, in the bathroom, on the refrigerator door.

    Special Instructions for Outdoor Use
    After cutting out the ornament/card and embellishing, laminate it, then finish up the ornament by punching a hold and adding a ribbon.

    The lamination will help make the ornament card water resistant, so it can be hung on a tree outdoors.

    About the Photographs
    These photographs of a grieving angel statue were taken and designed by your Death, Dying and Bereavement Guide. They were used for people to create their own ornaments to honor a loved one as part of a remembrance ceremony held in December 2004.
