What do you put in a shadow box as a memory for someone who loved one has died?

I want to make a shadow box for all my aunts to remember my gma (their mother) who died. I have a rose for each of them off the casket and also a poem, and her obit. Im not that crafty.|||Put something that reminds you of the trait of the individual. You might use a thimble for a seamstress, for example, or a toy cat for an animal lover. Whatever reminds you personally of your grandmother.|||A picture of them with the person who has passed


Fabric of the person who has passed (clothes, scarf, tissue, etc)


Copy of the obituary


costume jewelery


ribbon


scrap book paper and charms





Things that would remind the person of the good times they had and how much everybody loves the person who has passed|||that usually depends on the person. My grandfather passed a couple of years ago, and he used to work for a train company and he loved trains, so we put a village with a train in it.|||pictures of your aunts with gma and maybe a piece of a blaket she had and loved|||Did your grandmother sew or cook or do crafts?


Photocopies of her recipes, or cookbooks might be nice.


I%26#039;ve done color photocopies of my grandmother%26#039;s embroidery at the copy shop. They turned out well.


Any old letters, maybe sewing items such as thimbles, buttons, etc.


Maybe kitchen tools, spoons, potholders, etc.


Just think of the everyday type things your grandmother did and enjoyed. Put in something to represent those things.


Flower seed packets, or whatever.


You%26#039;ll know best.
