Three-Dimensional Ring, page 4
Step-by-step directions by Marcia Bollwage learned at a Teen Arts Festival in Mercer County, New Jersey

The finished piece will look like this. Make 14 pieces. 14 different colors, 7 colors 2 of each is the recommended just because it's easier to find that amount of paper.
To assemble, slide flaps into the pockets and continue until you have them all connected.
If you line up the colors in order it makes it easier to put together.

Here is the finished ring!
