I'm so nervous right now because it's been a while but I haven't gotten any cherry blossom recipe AT ALL. I've been popping balloons but they always give me bells and other stuff. I only have one cherry blossom recipe so far, which was obtained from Isabelle. Does anyone else have such problem? What should I do? D:
 
Same I haven't gotten a one. Not even from Isabelle.

I've heard the best thing is to go for the solid colored balloons. Those should have the cherry blossom recipes, but I'm not entirely sure. Running back and forth on the right and left shores of your beaches is a good way to farm them as they should spawn from there.
 
yes i've gotten all of mine from message bottles and solid balloons! i've gotten a bunch in the last few days. i got the most at night while i was running around laying paths, maybe because i was out and about doing things and would just pop them as they blew by.
 
i've gotten all the recipes- i traded for a couple of them, but i got around 10 by standing on one of my vertical beaches near the middle, and putting my sound up, multitasking, and whipping back to my switch right when i hear the high pitched whoooosh sound of a balloon. usually they're the bunny day ones, and often when they're the normal ones they just have like clay or a gym tee lmao, but i've gotten the DIYS this way, and it hasn't been too bad!

hope you all find luck and collect them all!
 
It seems like the best way of getting them is to just hang outside and do things as you wait for solid balloons to fly by every now and then. It’s unfortunate that Bunny Day lasts longer than the cherry blossoms do, but at least all of those bunny day balloons have no effect on the solid ones spawning.
 
I haven't gotten very many either. Just in general, my regular solid color balloons have been awful lately. I've gotten 1k bells from them like 10 times in the past few days.
 
I have all but 2.

One thing that seems to work for me is having cherry blossom petals in my inventory. No idea if it makes a difference, but yesterday I got none until I caught a couple petals and then my next two balloons in a row were cherry blossom recipes
 
only got one recently. i never got the one from isabelle & i haven't gotten any others since getting the clock. it's really upsetting :< i've been playing for hours each day and nothing.
 
I'm missing a few but the issue is two-fold. One: the recipes are rare so there's a higher chance of not getting them then there is of getting them, especially in balloons. Two: Because the event is running concurrently with Bunny Day and ends two days before Bunny Day does, the majority of balloons that are going to pass through the sky are Bunny Day balloons making it even harder to get them since you can only get them from regular balloons anyway.

When it gets closer to the 10th I plan to ask people to craft the items I'm missing for me. I'll even gather and provide the crafting materials out of my character's own pocket so they can save theirs. And that's assuming I don't get the missing recipes before the event ends.
 
I'm only missing one now, but it took several hours of popping balloons across the past couple of days to get the ones I have. A lot of the balloons I found were just (ugly) clothes or bells.
 
How do you get Isabelle to give you a diy? she mentioned the blossoms in the announcement but speaking to her hadn’t progressed anything.
 
I only started recently but I doubt I’ll get them all with how low the chance is. Might have to try out the beach strat and see if that works for me.
Town hall might not even open before the event ends, so if Isabelle does give you one of the DIYs then that’s one I may not be able to obtain at all. I can’t help but wish the chances for these recipes was a tad higher.
 
I've only got the one from Isabelle. Been popping balloons, but nothing so far. I really want those items so I'll be disappointed if my luck doesn't change.
 
I only have like 3 or 4 , 1 coming from Isabelle.

It's REALLY annoying that there's only balloons from the whole Bunny Day event , and to make it worse I only get sky eggs , not even DIY Bunny Day recipes.
 
i popped balloons for 2 hours and didn’t get a single one lmao
 
I literally only got the picnic basket recipe from Isabelle! It's so frustrating, like I don't even want the bunny day furniture yet it's all I get when I pop balloons.

Don't pop the egg balloons. Sakura recipes only come from regular balloons.

Sadly I haven't even seen any regular balloons lately. Maybe if I ignore the egg balloons they'll start spawning? I think I'll have to give that a try.
 
I have exactly half of them now (7 out of 14), so I'm doing pretty good. I was trying to grind them out today, but I kept mostly getting furniture, bells, or iron nuggets. I popped a lot of regular balloons over the course of the day and I only got 2.

I was hoping to find more, preferably all of them, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. I guess the grind continues over the next week.
 
I managed to gather all the recipes over the course of 2 and a half days, and it was absolute hell. 2+ days of nonstop running down my beaches, repairing my slingshot, feeling disappointed everytime I saw one of those stupid egg balloons. I can still hear the wooshing noise in my head - it haunts me at night.

It's not hard to collect the recipes, but it is very grindy and extremely tedious. If you have no life like me and don't think you will go insane at the repeated sound of running full speed up and down a virtual beach, you'll finish this event eventually. Not with your whole soul intact, however.
