Step 5

Attach four Type 1 bands to the base.  With base set vertically (that is with circle opening at the top/bottom, and oval openings on the sides), glue a triangle on a Type 1 band to each of the upper triangles on the base with the tip pointed upward and curve in the band outward to the left (see Photo 6).  Attach other end of each Type 1 band diagonally across the oval to the right to one of the lower triangles on the base with the tip oriented horizontally to the right (See photo 7).

Step 6

Turn the base over, and attach four more Type 1 bands to the base in the same way.  With base set vertically (that is with circle opening at the top/bottom, and oval openings on the sides), glue a triangle on a Type 1 band to each of the upper triangles on the base, on top of the band triangle placed in Step 5, with the tip pointed upward and curve in the band outward to the left (see Photo 8).  Attach other end of each Type 1 band diagonally across the oval to the right to one of the lower triangles on the base, again on top of the band triangle placed in Step 5, with the tip oriented horizontally to the right (See photo 9).

Step 7

Complete the Worm Hole by attaching the four Type 2 bands.  Glue a triangle on each end of each Type 2 Band to a triangle on diagonally opposite sides of each oval of the base (on top of other band triangles), with the triangles at each end folded under the band.
