Self Portrait, Photography and Collage : 27 Steps (with Pictures)

I am an art teacher in an elementary school and do a lot of projects with my kids that involve photographs. Often I will take a portrait of a student , then, cut their face out. The face will serve as the basis for their activity. Sometimes their theme is friendship, sometimes a season is explored, sometimes another artist's style is explored in their work. (I will include samples of some of these progects at the end of this Instructable)
After the faces are removed from the photograph, I end up with a pile of faceless photos. It kills me to throw away their little bodies so I got this idea to put my face in place of their missing one!
I created this crazy collection of self portraits. The process is fun and simple!

Step 1: Supplies

an assortment of photos
a pair of scissors
and a glue stick

Step 2: Choose Your Photo

Remove the faces from your photographs buy carefully cutting out with the scissors. Then choose the faceless photo that you will use to create your self portrait.

Step 3: Choose Your Photo
