Oh Boy! Look close and you see some of my (Cathie) old school photos.  I had some pretty bad hair-dos....ah the 70's!   We used them to make school photo charms with Podgeables and Mod Podge. They are super easy to make.  You can get the clear Podgeable shapes at any Michaels Craft Store in the Mod Podge Section.

Once dry, trim any excess paper from the edges. Repeat with the circle shape.
