For this tutorial you will need 2 ring sizes. The 2nd size needs to be able to fit in the larger ring, but still hold 4 of the larger rings comfortably.

1 Take a small ring. Put 4 large rings in the small ring. Close the small ring.


2Take a large ring. Close it around the small ring, but make sure it doesn't go through any rings.


3 Take another small ring with two big closed rings and connect it to the outside two on either side.


4 Repeat step 2 on the new group of rings.


5 Connect the two inner big rings with a small ring.


6 You have a small strip of Dragonscale. Just continue the pattern to get a sheet.
