Complete Guide to Cherry Blossom DIY Recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

As the seasons shift in the real world, so do they in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This brings a host of seasonal events and unique items, including exclusive DIY recipes that are only available during specific times of the year. From April 1 to 10 in the Northern Hemisphere, and October 1 to 10 in the Southern Hemisphere, players can experience the enchanting cherry blossom season. Just like in nature, this period is fleeting.

During cherry blossom season, all hardwood trees (excluding fruit and cedar trees) burst into bloom with delicate pink flowers, and cherry blossoms drift gently around you. You can catch these blossoms using any net, which allows you to craft a variety of cherry blossom-themed DIY recipes. These recipes can be obtained from balloons, message bottles, or villagers. Here’s the complete list of Cherry Blossom DIY Recipes:

– Outdoor picnic set (given by Isabelle at the start of cherry blossom season)
– Blossom-viewing lantern
– Cherry-blossom pond stone
– Cherry-blossom-petal pile
– Cherry-blossom bonsai
– Cherry-blossom branches
– Cherry-blossom clock
– Cherry-blossom umbrella
– Cherry-blossom pochette
– Cherry-blossom wand
– Cherry-blossom-trees wall

All these recipes will show up in your DIY recipes list under the “seasonal” tab, each featuring a pink background, except for the cherry-blossom pond stone, which has a gray background and is categorized with stone DIYs. To maximize your chances of obtaining cherry blossom recipes, focus on farming regular balloons; you can find more details in a comprehensive balloon guide. Keep in mind that while cherry blossom season coincides with Bunny Day in the Northern Hemisphere, Bunny Day-related balloons will spawn alongside the regular ones, meaning they won’t replace the standard red, yellow, green, and blue balloons that can yield cherry blossom DIY recipes.
