Easy cosmos flowers made with paper
Let’s make a three-dimensional cosmos flower out of paper.
Cut a strip of paper lengthwise, fold it in the center, and attach both ends together to form a cosmos petal.
If you look closely, the petal even looks like a heart, adding extra cuteness.
Glue the petals together to create a cosmos flower, and you’ll have a dimensional piece.
Add the paper-made stamens to finish.
When displayed on the wall, it gives the room a bright, festive feel.
Being in a room with an impressive cosmos craft might lift the spirits of older adults, too.
It’s a simple method, so give it a try!
A wreath of vividly colored cosmos flowers
Here is an introduction to making a cosmos wreath with origami.
Cosmos petals are long and slender, right? We’ll make petals in that shape using a single sheet of origami paper.
First, fold the paper to create crease lines, then fold it into the shape of a cosmos.
Some of the folding steps are a bit complex, so older adults or others may find parts challenging.
Please have people nearby help out during the craft.
Once you’ve folded the cosmos flowers, glue them together to form a wreath.
Since the cosmos ends up shaped like a medal, it would also make a lovely gift as a medal-style decoration.
Felt cosmos
Here’s an easy felt cosmos project perfect for beginners.
When crafting cosmos flowers from felt, make small jagged cuts with scissors as you go to create a three-dimensional look.
For the center of the flower, make a yellow felt piece and secure it together with a wire.
Cut felt leaves and attach them to the wire, and your cosmos is complete.
The warm, gentle feel of these cosmos flowers is so charming.
Try displaying them in a vase and enjoy!
Three-dimensional chrysanthemum flower
Chrysanthemums, whose flower language includes “nobility,” are considered auspicious flowers symbolizing longevity and said to bring good fortune.
Let’s decorate your Respect-for-the-Aged Day gathering with chrysanthemum ornaments! First, cut origami paper into thin strips about 1 cm wide.
Fold each strip in half and round off the ends.
Once done, apply glue to the center and arrange the pieces radially to form a flower shape, layering them as you go.
Next, use a pencil or other thin stick to curl the tips.
Make another one the same way, then stack and glue them together to finish.
Create chrysanthemums in various colors to brighten up the room!
A mobile of apples and pears
Autumn brings an abundance of delicious seasonal fruits—truly the season of hearty appetites.
How about making a mobile shaped like iconic autumn fruits? Using colored construction paper, we’ll create apples and pears.
Make a template and glue several identical pieces together.
Glue along the folds with wood glue or similar; it’s okay if a little squeezes out.
In the center, attach a paper piece shaped like the core of an apple or pear.
Hanging it from the ceiling or displaying it by a window makes for a lovely interior decoration.
3D grapes
Let’s make one of autumn’s flavors—grapes—out of origami.
Use a compass or similar tool to cut out round shapes from origami paper.
After making several circles, apply glue and layer them.
The key is to fold each piece of origami paper in half, then attach each half to a different circular piece, one by one.
This creates a spherical shape out of origami.
Connect the spheres together, and they will look like a bunch of grapes.
Using origami paper with dots or patterns can add a cute accent.
Older adults may also enjoy feeling the season of autumn through this grape craft.
Noren Cosmos made with tissue paper
Let me introduce a noren-style cosmos decoration made from tissue paper that will brighten up your room.
Prepare tissue paper, paper straws, string, and a tension rod, and let’s get started.
Fold and cut the tissue paper to create petal pieces.
By adding curves or cutting jagged edges, you can make more three-dimensional flowers.
Hang the string on the tension rod, then attach the petals and stamen parts to the string.
Form small loops in the string and thread the petals through as you go.
It’s also important to adjust the shapes so the petals don’t overlap.
