[Skyfall]

Thanks for this guide!

Why oh why all these diy’s only from balloons! I am filled with so much dread.

Thanks for the guide, and especially for sharing the jail bar tip! Now I just have to figure out how to make it look nice, and not like some sort of prison island.

Thank you so much for once again putting together such a helpful guide!!! This helps a whole lot and good luck to everyone trying to collect all the DIYs this season!! May the RNG be with us all.

Great guide, thanks so much!

I might have to TT for the festive DIYs. I don't want to wait until Dec 15 before I can start decorating for Christmas.

I wish Festive season would start on Dec 1, because 15th is pretty late into the Christmas holiday.

I time traveled to December 1st to try to get some summer shell recipes (southern hemisphere island) and no luck at all. Did Nintendo make a change to cause it to be harder to get the seasonal DIYs when you are not connected to the internet or playing on the true calendar dates for the season? I already have 6 of the 9 that I got from traders' "Free DIYs" sections last summer, but I really want the complete set.

One tip about snow boys: They don't actually have to be big. You can make little baby snow boys as long as they have the same proportions as a perfect snow boy. Edit: The small snow boy in the image below declared himself to be perfect and gave me a large snowflake and a recipe.

I recall reading on a guide somewhere that pinecones and acorns are still available until December 10th. I could be wrong though.

I'm currently on December 2nd, so they do indeed carry over into the new month.

Oh my goodness, that is adorable! My heart. Now we can all have happy little snowpeople families on our islands! If you don't mind me asking, can you share how big/tall you made the two snowballs for your small snow boy?

Thanks! I'm not sure honestly. I just eyeballed it. I have a southern hemisphere island, so I already went through a whole winter season. It took me awhile to be able to reliably make perfect snow boys. The head needs to be smaller than the body but I'm not sure what the percentage is... maybe 80% of the body's size or 85%? But if someone with math skills could figure out that percentage, I think it holds for whatever size snow boy one makes.

The hard part was that I would make the head the perfect size but it would get too big as it was being rolled into the body.

No worries at all. There are a ton of guides/video tutorials for building perfect Snowboys (normal sized). Once December 15th rolls around, I'll probably try to figure out the math so the process becomes more mechanical and repeatable.

I've updated the first post with the image you've provided. Thank you.

Thanks @Rosch! As always, your guides are very informative. Maybe we should ask moderators to sticky it.

Happy to see the flashing lights will be available in the southern hemi as well. They look so pretty in the previews I've seen from TTers.

 

[Junalt]

Thank you for the guide.

Does anyone have any idea when the Falling-Snow Wall DIY becomes available in balloons?

It's part of the Snowflake set. December 11th.

Thank you so much for this guide! I am trying to do a holiday-themed island hopefully and it will help knowing when to find the DIYs I need.
