Shimura curves are moduli spaces of abelian surfaces with quaternion multiplication. Models of Shimura curves are very important in number theory. Klein's icosahedral invariants $\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B}$ and $\mathfrak{C}$ give the Hilbert modular forms for $\sqrt{5}$ via the period mapping for a family of $K3$ surfaces. Using the period mappings for several families of $K3$ surfaces, we obtain explicit models of Shimura curves with small discriminant in the weighted projective space ${\rm Proj} (\mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B},\mathfrak{C}])$.
