	1. Hold Band stamped “1’ (rounded outside band) with your left hand with the irregular portion of the band up.		2. Bring Band stamped “2” (other outside band) up against “1” band forming a diamond shape. Note – these are the outside bands when the ring is assembled.
	3. Bring up the other two similarly shaped bands ("5" and "6") from the bottom so that they fit against the "1" and "2". Two bands ("3" and "4") should remain handing underneath.		4. Grasp band stamped "4" in your right hand with the stamp facing you and the flat part of the band up, allowing the "1", "2", "5" and "6" bands to fall to one side. If you're right-handed you may want to transfer the "4" band to your left hand.

Eight band puzzle rings instructions:

	1. Hold Band stamped “1’ (rounded outside band) with the irregular portion up and in your left hand.		2. Bring Band stamped “2” (other outside band) up against “1” band forming a diamond shape. Note – these are the outside bands when the ring is assembled.

Grasp band stamped "4" in your right hand with the stamp facing towards you, allowing remaining four bands ("1", "2", "5" and "6") to fall to one side. This band is one that crosses over on a diagonal when the ring is assembled.
	5. Bring 2nd band stamped "4" up behind "Jose" band. The two bands should fit together and act as one. Note: The *WB-D has only one band stamped "4".		6. Take tow bands stamped "3" and fit together. They also act as one band. Bring the two bands up together towards you with your left hand until the bands are parallel.
	7. Holding two "3" bands between your thumb and forefinger, turn bands clockwise.		8. Continue turning until you have completed a 180-degree rotation.
	9. The bands should fit together, holding the two outside bands ("1" and "2").		10. When the step 9 is completed, "3"and "4" should form an X.
	11. Take the first band on the side which was facing you when you did step 7 and 8 which is "6" and rotate the band until the irregular shaped part is on the inside of the ring.		12. Bring band up and fit against "3" and "4". Be sure that the "v" shaped part is over the remaining loose bands.
