Below the claw, use White embroidery floss to stitch “MONSTER” and Lime Green embroidery floss directly below it to stitch “ENERGY” in neat, tiny block letters.
Fasten off, leaving a tail. Thread the tail through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches, pull tight to close, and weave in the ends.
Green Pull Tab & Keyring Attachment:
Using Lime Green yarn, chain 6. Join with a slip stitch to the first chain to make a small ring. Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Sew this green tab onto the center-top of the grey can lid. Thread the jump ring of your keychain through this green loop to complete your Monster Energy can keychain.
