Summer shells have not appeared

So, in the Cherry Blossom event, some of my friends got an Isabelle DIY while me and others didn't. I also received a bamboo spring DIY completely randomly. Random-ish is the name of the game!
I had to pick up all my shells before summer shells started to appear. Don't ask me why because I do not know!!! I also have gotten 2 DIYs from balloons. :)
I think the beach can only have so many things on the edge at a time. The same thing happens with star fragments, you have to pick things up so that more star fragments can wash up.
 
How did you get the diy?
A few days ago, I had to TT a villager out of my town, but I didn't want to "spoil" anything (I usually never TT) so I went back to May 1rst and tried to cycle someone out from there. I got someone to move the last day of May, so I had to TT forwards to June 2 for the plot to be empty (I was receiving a dreamy from someone) and when I started up the game Isabelle gave me the shell wreath DIY. I then immediately TT'd back to the current date so I could progress normally in the game. When I was in June 2nd, Isabelle did not mention the wedding event, but today, she did (obviously) but did not mention summer shells at all. Perhaps she gives you the DIY on June 2? Idk :c
 
No diy, 2 shells. I got 5 diys from balloons but that's just what happened with cherry blossoms and young spring bamboo items. Are these limited to June or all summer? If it's a monthly thing that is a little concerning.
I don't think it has anything to do with time being synced or time traveling, it didn't for the aforementioned spring things and I got diys from Isabelle on random days for those.
What concerns me is how rare the materials might be. I'm fine with collecting DIYs myself, just find it odd that it's so random.
 
I got two summer shells but no DIY from Isabelle, but I also haven't gone to talk to her.

I do have a campsite visitor, so I'm wondering if her announcing that after the wedding announcement preempted her announcing the DIY.
That's what I'm wondering. I'm in the same boat, and I remember this being the case for the cherry blossom DIY.
 
I didn't get the DIY from Isabelle, but I read that's when there's no announcements from her, so probably tomorrow or the next day. I had no clue about the summer shells until I was walking along my beach (after a few hours I'd been playing already) and stumbled upon a blue shell and I was like WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? That's when I went online and found out about them. lol
 
I never got the cherry blossom DIY recipe from Isabelle as it coincided with some other announcement.
However; today, I played quite a few sea shells. I'm always out collecting and selling seashells anyway, so was able to find a bunch and I also got two seasonal recipes from balloons.
Does anyone know what recipe Isabelle is supposed to give you anyway?
 
Wait, Isabelle's supposed to give you a new DIY recipe that uses the summer shells? She hasn't given me any yet - today she just talked about it being June and the wedding season and that was it. I also haven't found any recipes from balloon presents so far.

I've found one summer shell while I was walking along the beach, but that's it so far. I was hoping it wouldn't be too difficult to craft all the summer shell stuff, but after today I'm kind of worried. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to find more shells and get more recipes...
 
I also didnt get a DIY from isabelle and I think the spawn rate of summer shells is super low.. i got like 3 today
 
As soon as Isabelle has no news to announce, that's when she'll give the Shell Wreath DIY. For June 1, she announced the start of the wedding season, that's why she didn't give it.

So if no one will move out, move in, no construction, etc on June 2 onwards, she will give the DIY.

For the summer shells (the blue one), keep picking up all the shells on the beach so that new shells will spawn. I've gotten 8 from running around the shore while catching those sharks and trying to spawn the beetles on the coconuts.

For the Summer Shell DIYs, they are only dropped by balloons.
 
I found a couple summer shells, but no DIY from Isabelle nor did she mention the shells. When I started up my second character she mentioned the shells and gave the DIY
 
I got 2 diys from the balloons, but both of them weren't furniture, instead they were just the floor and wallpaper. Regarding summer shells they didn't pop up for my main character, but they did for my other profiles.
 
I got a DIY wallpaper, and floor (both from balloons, not Isabelle)...and I probably picked up about 5 or 6 shells today.
