Here are some Christmas decorations inspired by the good old British weather! We’re putting the tree up this weekend so more decorations to come over the next week. When do you normally put yours up? (When I was little it was usually a Christmas eve job but nowadays my neighbourhood seems to go for December 1st!).
(BTW: Don’t forget to put your loop of thread in before sticking the models together – I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve done that!)

Thanks for sharing these wonderful diamonds. Made mine with fake leather.
Here´s the result, written in swedish though… http://afnord.blogspot.se/2012/12/juljuveler.html
Wish you a great day
Yay…they look great. Very brave to make them in leather. It would never have crossed my mind. No problem on the Swedish. I love google translate!!
waves hello back to France ^_^
Thanks for sharing! they are really cute, my children’ll have fun making them!
Yay…they look great CL ^_^
They are soooo cute! I have folded all of them 🙂
But why have you changed the pattern on the icosahedron in the template? I like the one in your pictures much better.
Is there a chance you can change it?
Thank You!
Cheers from Hungary 🙂
Hi Nóra,
Sorry about that (the joys of not having a proof-reader). I rush too much!
I have put a new link above ‘simple snowflake icosahedron’
Cheerio for now
Kate
Thank you very much for these templates! Even though I am not the best at gluing things, this was a lot of fun. I posted my end result here:

Hi Deborah…sorry for the late reply….I’m playing catch up.
SO happy to hear you bought the book. Knee deep in the second one at the moment which is going to be for grown-ups. Can’t wait to share it with you all. Hope you enjoyed the snow. Ours all gone now (enjoyed it for the first day or so but kinda glad it’s gone now!) ^_^
Yay! Glad they worked well. Happy crafting. Kate ^_^
Would you happen to have a template which only has one isocahedron on it. Because this is my math project and the isocahedron has to be as large as possible. At least 6inches in diameter. So if you do have a template with only one isocahedron on a single peice of paper please post it or email me. I need it before Monday. Please please please help me out I love the snowflakes on the isocahedron that is why I’m not using the templates from other sites.
At ths moment I am going away to do my breakfast, once having my breakfast coming over again to read
additional news.
oh i love these
Wow, I love these! 🙂
Your writing showcases a remarkable gift for storytelling, effortlessly transporting readers into Slope Run vivid narratives and immersing them in a tapestry of emotions and experiences.
The shape is quite nice, just care about durability and whether it is suitable for fish eat fish or not.
