Tao 3 Weave by Bative
Instructions by Zlosk

Materials
(5) 16 ga. (.062) × 1/4 I.D. rings
(3) 16 ga. (.062) × 5/16 I.D. rings

Instructions
For the purpose of this instruction set, the 1/4 I.D. rings are silver and the 5/16 I.D. rings are gold.

	1. Open (3) of the 1/4 I.D. rings and close (2) of them.
	2. Open (2) of the 5/16 I.D. rings and close (1) of them.
	3. Make an orbital unit from (1) 1/4 I.D. closed ring and (2) 5/16 I.D. rings, using one of the 5/16 I.D. closed rings as the orbiting ring.
	4. Use the just closed 5/16 I.D. ring as the orbit of a new orbital unit, adding in a closed 1/4 I.D. closed ring and a 5/16 I.D. open ring.
	5. Fold the just closed 5/16 I.D. ring over.
	6. Use a 1/4 I.D. open ring to grab the original orbiting 5/16 I.D. ring (from step 3) and close it.
	7. Run a 1/4 I.D. open ring through the (3) orbiting 5/16 I.D. rings and close it.
	8. Flip the unit over and run a 1/4 I.D. open ring through the (3) orbiting 5/16 I.D. rings and close it.
	You're done!
