Weave in Ends: Securely weave in all loose yarn tails.
Attach Keychain Ring: Using a length of green yarn, securely attach the keychain ring (via its small chain) to the top center of the jersey, between the two shoulder sections.
Add Logos (Optional): Carefully attach your small iron-on patches for the Mexico crest and Adidas logo to the front of the jersey, following manufacturer instructions. If embroidering, use black and white embroidery floss to create the details.
