"Christmas cards" should also be known as "How to use a tampon in a crafty way". I am all about recycling and use stuff that is near so I always use a tampon for making these cards. I think it is more pretty with the wavy pattern in the beard? Anyawys, these cute cards brings out a big smile on most faces. Excuse my english, this is not my mother tounge. Feel free to correct my language! ;) Good luck!

Two pieces of colored paper, wiggly eyes and a tampon. Pink paper for the hat and green paper for the background.
Cut out the hat and glue it on to the background. Put the eyes on the hat.
How to open up a tampon is not always a simple task. S tart with the bottom (with the string) and try to open it up so it looks like a flower or a mushroom. You will now see there is a thin layer on the outside of the tampon - take that layer off. Now you can "open it up".
This is what an "open tampon" looks like. Take off the string and rub it up a bit (so it will be more soft). It is time to form the beard!
Try cutting it and tear it apart so you get the perfect beard. Also round up the edges so it will fit the face. I use the hat as directions for the size.
Glue the beard to the background beneath the hat and eyes. If you are lazy you can finish up here ...
... and if you want more feeling to your cards: add eyebrows! Just take some leftover cotton from your tampon and roll it with a little blue between your fingers or just glue them on as furry unibrows.
