5-Pointed Overlapping Scale Flowers

Based on lorenzo's original scale flowers, these have overlapping petals. They can easily be
made without overlapping each petal and can be made with more or fewer petals by changing
ring sizes.

I am using small scales and BA rings, 1.6mm 10mm ID (AR 6.25) for the large rings &
6.7mm (AR 4.18) for the smaller rings. Ring sizes can vary slightly depending on how stiff
you want your flower.

Start with 1 closed large ring, 1 closed small ring, 5 open large rings and 5 small scales.

Put a large ring through a closed small ring, a scale and a closed large ring. Make sure the
concave (cupped) side of the scale is pointing toward the small ring; the convex (domed) side
should point toward the large ring.
Do the same again. Put a large ring through the closed small rig in front another small scale
(but not the first one you used) and the closed large ring behind.

Repeat the last step.

 Repeat twice more.

This is the back before closing the last large ring. This is the tricky bit if you want all the
petals to overlap, it takes some tweaking. If you're not bothered about the petals all
overlapping evenly, it's easy. The arrows show how these all overlap.
