All Animal Crossing Summer Shell DIY Recipes

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.

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.
