A new seasonal crafting material has started appearing in Animal Crossing: New Horizons; here's how to get summer shells and all the DIY recipes you can make with them. Summer in Animal Crossing: New Horizons not only means wave one of the summer update, but summer shells--a brand new crafting material that you'll find washed up on the beaches in your town and on Mystery Islands. Check out our Animal Crossing: New Horizons guides hub for more tips--but for now, let's take a look at these shell DIY recipes. The new summer shells are a distinct blue color, and much like the cherry blossom petals you could collect in spring, they are used in crafting special seasonal DIY recipes. As before, these recipes will only be available for a limited time, from June to August (or December to February in the Southern Hemisphere). Acquiring them also relies quite a bit on chance, as you'll primarily need to shoot them down from balloons or find them washed up in bottles. Since the summer shell recipes are only around for a brief period, you'll want to get your hands on them while you can. To help you out, we've rounded up all the summer shell DIY recipes we've found--along with the materials you need to craft them--below. Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?
