Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Cherry Blossom Furniture Set List - What Do You Use Cherry Blossom Petals For?

At the start of April many of the trees on your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island turn a beautiful pink hue and cherry-blossom petals begin lilting around on the breeze. That's because cherry blossom season arrives each year from 1st - 10th April (running concurrently with the Bunny Day event).

You can collect this cherry blossom falling from the trees with your bug-catching net ready to use for... something. Just what are the cherry blossom leaves used for, then?

Well, cherry blossom petals are a crafting material used to build a set of seasonal cherry blossom furniture. Below we've assembled a table of every piece of craftable cherry blossom furniture we've encountered so far, as well as the materials you'll need according to the DIY recipes.

We'll update this table if we encounter any more cherry-blossom items.

How do I get the cherry blossom furniture items DIY recipes?

You get the DIY recipes for the cherry-blossom items randomly from balloons that float over your island, although not the multicoloured ones associated with Bunny Day.

Balloons are easy to spot by the breezy whistling sound they make as they float overhead and can be shot down using a slingshot. They spawn every 5 minutes or so (minutes that end in a 4 or a 9, in fact), so keep and eye (and an ear) out for them.
