Three-dimensional cosmos

[Origami] Cosmos – Easy 3D Tutorial | Autumn Flower Origami | Kid-Friendly Instructions | September, October, November Origami [Origami]

Here’s an idea for making a cosmos flower by combining identical parts.

Fold a sheet of origami paper in half into a triangle, then fold it in half into a triangle again, and place it so the triangle points downward.

Take the top layer’s left edge and fold it to meet the right edge, then fold it back again to align with the center line.

Slightly fold the right corner of the folded section inward, open that section up, and use the creases to shape it into a petal.

With one part completed, make eight parts total and assemble them by overlapping, tucking in any excess as you go to form the cosmos.

Adding a round sticker in the center makes it easy to represent the flower’s core.

3D persimmon origami

Persimmon decoration made with easy origami (with audio commentary)

After folding the origami in half twice to make a small square, place the center of the origami facing down and use scissors to round off the left and right corners.

Open the origami, make slits, then bring the four corners to the center and glue them—this completes the persimmon fruit part.

For the calyx, use 7.5 cm origami paper.

Fold it into a triangle twice and open it, then fold it into a small square like the fruit and cut off both side corners.

Open the paper, fold the four corners toward the center, then fold them back and create a stepped fold.

Pinch the corners while pressing toward the center to hollow out the middle of the paper.

Finally, glue it to the fruit, and it’s complete.
