Thirteen "slice" layers of scale petals spaced along the center stem create this large, chunky ornament which measures approx. 6.5" tall x 4" diameter. Multiple layers glued together add dimension and strength. Stem includes hole punch for hanging. ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes: Stem: cut 7 shapes to layer into sturdy stack Scale ring shapes A-M: cut 5 of each to layer into sturdy stacks 2. Position and attach all of the Stem shapes, one by one, into a stack, with edges precisely aligned, including punch hole. NOTE the center dash lines which will be used to adjust the rings at their most accurate levels. 3. NOTE that each of the rings includes a letter cut near center that will be used to identify each separate piece as they are assembled into stacks, and also later so that rings can be added in appropriate order onto stem. 4. Position and attach the first two rings, taking care to align ALL edges, and particularly paying attention to the center stem opening. Then add the remaining three in similar manner until all 5 are stacked. As the layers are added, shape the ring by bending the scale extensions downward, before the adhesive dries. NOTE that the tip edges will naturally splay a bit. Use an abundance of finger pressure over the entire surface of the ring, but particularly at the scale tips and edges. 5. Repeat the layering assembly process for all rings A-M. 6. Begin with ring M to insert step narrow end through ring center opening, then slide it into place at the bottom-most guide mark on stem. Apply a line of adhesive across stem width at the line where M ring will be attached, on both faces, and on side edges, then slide M ring down fully into position at the line. Adjust the ring so that it is squared up, or perpendicular to the stem. 7. Next, slide L onto the stem, apply adhesive at the next guide line on stem, and . . . . . . slide L into position in the same fashion. 8. Continue in reverse-alpha order to add and attach the remaining rings K-A. Adjust the rings as needed before allowing all joints adhesive to firm and dry hard. 9.
