With the stocking still on your head (You don’t look silly at all Ho Ho Ho!) Tie a knot in the leftover stocking that hangs at the top of your head. Tie the knot small, neat and tight and very close to your head, albeit in the middle of your hair. This is the base of your hat / wig.

Starting at the knot, sew and secure a piece of tinsel to the stocking. Working in circles around the knot, nail the tinsel to the stocking. The stitches can be approximately 3 to 4 cm apart. If the hat / wig will be one color, continue working in circles until the stocking is covered.

For two colors, join the second piece of tinsel next to the first and take turns with the colors to make circles. The tinsel will spiral down the middle. Continue in this manner until the stocking is covered in tinsel.
