Finish:

• Begin stuffing the cone, making sure to get the stuffing down into the point (I use a chopstick or wooden dowel for this) and fill stuffing until it reaches the top of the cone.
• Add stuffing to the ice cream top until it is firmly stuffed.
• Place the cone into the top (I turned the top upside down and put the cone into the center.)
• Using the yarn tail and yarn needle, whip stitch the cone to the top, making sure to keep the stuffing tucked in and making sure to go through both the cone and the ice cream.
• Weave all ends.
• Optional: Embroider the ice cream top with “sprinkles” for a fun topping! Using your embroidery floss and embroidery needle, make long lines going in different directions around the ice cream top to make it look “sprinkled.”
• Have fun and create different “flavors” using different colors of yarn!
