April introduces a new season for Animal Crossing: New Horizons with plenty to do. The beginning of the month has Bunny Day from April 1-12 where you can collect a variety of eggs to create limited-time seasonal projects. There are also a lot of new bugs and fish to catch. They become available at the beginning of the month and for a limited time. Meanwhile, you can also start collecting Cherry Blossom petals, which you can use in unique Cherry Blossom DIY projects. How do you get these projects and what else do you need to make them happen?
To get the limited time Cherry Blossom DIY projects, you need to capture them using your slingshot to shoot them from the sky where they are hidden inside the balloons that you see floating around your island. Unfortunately, that's the only way to get them, so getting the ones you're looking for is a bit hit and miss. As long as you carry your trusty slingshot with you, however, you should always be prepared to get them. You need Cherry Blossom Petals to craft all of these items, which you can get from the Drooping Petals you see floating around the area. You can capture them with your net.
