The cherry-blossom petals in Animal Crossing: New Horizons are used ina range of different crafting recipes, but if it’s early in spring then you’re unlikely to have many. One of the first you can obtain is handed over by Isabelle at the start of the day, during her radio announcement. She's not guaranteed to send it each day, but before long Isabelle should give you the Outdoor Picnic Set recipe. 

The Outdoor Picnic Set costs 10 cherry-blossom petals to craft and appears to be a lovely bento box, some sandwiches, orange juice, sweets and, wait, is that a packet of chips as well? A bit of a strange lunch, but we’re not complaining.

There are several other recipes in New Horizons that use cherry-blossom petals, and over the course of the month you’ll be able to find them through floating presents, messages in bottles and from your other residents. Keep exploring and talking to people to find even more!
