*I improvised this from this vintage picture from Maire on Ravelry, the original photo, is here:

Link to a super easy way to do bullions, I know its not in English but the video shows it fine. I use a rubber band to hold the needle on the hook.

1. Ch 5, join to make circle.
  1. 6 Sc around ring, ss to join.
  2. Ch 3, 12 HDC around, 2 HDC in each SC.
  3. With the hook in loop, then you are ready to do bullions, Wrap 10 times and then insert hook into top of next HDC, YO, pull through all loops on hook, YO, through loop on hook, you are ready for next bullion. Continue on around.
  4. In the backs of the bullions make (sc, 3ch, sc) all around
  5. In the 3ch loops make (2sc, 3ch, 2sc) all around
  6. ss to top of 3ch loop, ( ch8, skip next 3ch loop, sc to 2nd 3ch loop, ) repeat around. Should have 6 8ch loops.
  7. (2 sc, 1 hdc, 1dc, 1 trc, 4ch picot on top of trc, 1 trc, 1dc, 1hdc, 2sc. ) Make in each 8 ch loop. Fasten off. Wash the snowflake and rinse, pat dry in towel and pin out to shape. I patted a bit of white glue on top to stiffen it up.
