How to get cherry blossom petals in Animal Crossing
Catching cherry blossom petals in Animal Crossing is fairly simple. As you walk around the map, you should see the petals falling from the trees. When you see them, you’ll simply pull out your Net and use it to catch petals, much like you would use it to catch bugs. But you need to be quick and accurate to catch the petals. You can easily miss your attempt at it, and then the petal will disappear from the screen. When you catch a petal it will become clear as your character will hold it up.
Once you catch the petals they can be stored, just like any other material from the game. As you continue to grow your inventory, you’ll be able to create a number of items from your cherry blossom petals.
