I took everything apart, if it can be remove, remove it.
Ring is one sheet. If I remember it correctly it was 2x2 for the nose ring.
I lay the dinoc sticky side up, (double check pattern/weave) lay the ring face down on sticky side.
left about three to four inches of material all the way around so you can get a good grip. If you do it in the hot weather you dont need heat gun.
If you do it in the cold weather (may dinoc god help you) it is pita.
You will need plenty of patience to make sure you dont get any wrinkles or bubbles. for the inside curves you will need to cut two slit to relieve tension (not too much or the cut will run into the curve) & bit of heat gun to make it mold-able. Make sure you grab the material tight enough so there are no slack but not too tight. (this take practice.) So my suggestion is practice on small things with curves so you can get better understanding of how much heat & stretching is needed before it burn a hole in it or stretched the weave out of whack.

Center piece was easier than the ring. I did the middle one piece, middle top section another piece. round circle cap is small piece.
Three diamond was three piece wrapped & cuts were made where all the diamonds connect in the center.
most critical part is making sure all the weaves line up or flows with the rest of the weave lines.
