In particular, all those who have selected the northern hemisphere as their home region will have until November 26 to complete the maple leaves event: in this period the leaves will literally fall from the sky, covering the ground and creating a very suggestive atmosphere. To get them, however, you'll need to collect those visibly larger than the others via your insect net, before they hit the ground and disappear forever. In case you miss some, however, do not despair, because it will be enough for you to move around for a few minutes within your island to find others without difficulty.
Once collected in sufficient numbers, you can use your leaves maple in many different ways, building the new objects at your disposal or selling them directly to Tom Nook's shop: in the latter case, however, know that the price of each leaf will not go beyond 200 stars. Alternatively, you will have to get the recipes for the new do-it-yourself items: while the first, that is the pile of red leaves, will be given to you by Tom Nook and Isabella, in fact, the others can only be obtained by knocking down the balloons that float in mid-air above your island, using your slingshot. Once you have found a recipe, just make sure you have collected all the necessary ingredients and resources, and that's it.
