Cream Horn

I have had a long time to think about this pattern, so I was very happy when it came out so much like my sketches.
The use of a bulky yarn really adds a fun touch to the "cream filling".

Assembly:

At the tip of the horn secure end by sewing or gluing the band. After you have secured the end, wrap the rest of the band around the horn till you reach the top sewing or gluing along the way. Weave in ends.
Stuff horn. Sew or glue "cream" to the open end of the horn.
Stuff a small amount of stuffing into cream before you sew or glue all away around.
