Animal Crossing New Horizons Snowflake DIY Recipes

Get the Snowflakes and Large Snowflakes and craft around 26 DIY items in ACNH.

The Winter Snowflakes and large Snowflakes in Animal Crossing New Horizons are special items for making flooring, wallpapers, furniture, etc. Snowflakes are specific to the winter season; you can find them in both hemispheres for over two months.

You can collect many snowflakes during the winter season since the season is long and use them to craft snowflake DIY items. In the Southern Hemisphere, you can find these floating during the Snowflake season from June 11 to August 24. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Snowflake season in Animal Crossing New Horizons is from December 11 to February 24.

ACNH Snowflakes DIY Items

Before you can start crafting the Snowflakes DIY items in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you must find the recipes. The recipes for the 10 Snowflakes DIY items, including the two added in Update 2.0, can be collected by popping balloons using your slingshot.

However, the balloon with recipes for snowflake items will only appear during the snowflake season time mentioned above.

FYI

Time traveling is an option to collect snowflakes, but keep in mind that these snowflakes melt after 4 days in your inventory, so you can’t travel too much. So the best way would be to collect snowflakes and craft the items you need before traveling back to the present.

How to get Snowflakes and Large Snowflakes in Animal Crossing New Horizons

To gather Snowflakes, you must take out your net and catch them like you catch Maple Leaf and Cherry Blossom Petals. These will fall from the sky instead of trees with the snow. You will hear a twinkling sound if you are close to a falling Snowflake in ACNH.

There is no fixed place to find them as they fall from the sky, but it is best to look for them when you are having a snowfall on your island.

They are difficult to get if you are looking for Large Snowflakes. You must build “Perfect Snowboy” to get the Snowflake and DIY recipe. One Snowboy will give you 4 Large Snowflakes, but for this, you need to visit it daily without skipping any day.

To craft all the items that require Large Snowflakes in crafting, you must build multiple “Perfect Snowboys” and talk to them daily.

TIP

If you are short on Large Snowflakes and the season is about to end, you can time travel and collect Large Snowflakes. You can even Time travel to the Snowflakes season if you are behind.

Large Snowflakes are difficult to get so you can sell each for 2,500 Bells. You can sell simple Snowflakes for just 200 Bells. We will not recommend selling Large Snowflakes unless you have crafted all the desired items and want to make Bells.
