Isabelle won't give the DIY recipe if there are other events happening

ACNH - Isabelle from ACNH announces the start of the Bug-Off
Sometimes if there are other ongoing events overlapping with the seasonal one, Isabelle's broadcast will end up being about those instead, and as a result you won't recieve the recipe.

You can also get the recipes from balloons, so go balloon hunting if you didn't get the recipe from Isabelle.

    Summer has to do with shells not bamboo. Bamboo is a part of spring. Winter might have the jingle recipes that use the ornaments.
