The petals are 3D! How to fold a cute cosmos flowerNEW!
Here’s how to fold a cosmos with eight petals using four sheets of origami paper.
Use your preferred colors for the flower sections and yellow origami for the center.
For the petal parts, make crease lines on 5 cm square origami paper, then fold along those creases.
Each sheet makes two petals.
Cut the tips of the petals into a jagged shape to represent the cosmos.
After making four petal parts, combine and adjust them.
For the center, take a long, narrow strip of yellow origami paper and make lots of small cuts in it.
Assemble it with the flower to finish.
You’ll create a cosmos with beautifully three-dimensional petals.
A cosmos whose petals only need to be folded three timesNEW!
How about a cosmos flower with plenty of petals that looks almost real? Fold a 7.5 cm square of origami paper into a triangle three times, draw the shape of a petal with a pencil, then cut it out.
If you cut it with a jagged edge, you can recreate the distinctive cosmos petals.
Make two of these and glue them together.
For the center, take a yellow piece of origami paper 7.5 cm wide and 2 cm tall, fold it in half, make many fine slits, and roll it up.
Secure the end with glue and gently flare the slit portion outward.
Attach it to the flower, and you’re done.
It’s amazing that you can make a lovely cosmos with just three folds!
A flower that can also be used as a small accessory case
A cute, three-dimensional flower that can also be used as a small container! You can make it with just one sheet of origami, so give it a try.
There aren’t many particularly difficult steps, but the final shaping of the flower can be tricky because the paper tends to tear easily.
Be careful not to pull too hard when turning over the parts that become the petals.
If you make it in bright, pop colors, it gives an energetic feel; in pastel tones, it creates a more feminine vibe.
The color of the origami can really express your personal style.
Easy and cute! How to fold a ribbonNEW!
Let’s make a very simple ribbon using a single sheet of origami paper! Fold your chosen color of origami in half horizontally, then fold the sides in toward the crease.
Unfold, and fold the top and bottom toward the center crease.
Rotate it and fold in half, then fold the sides toward the crease.
Fold it in half vertically and horizontally, open the center, spread it into a triangle and squash it; repeat on the other side.
You’re almost there! With this very simple folding method, you’ll have an adorable ribbon.
It’s easy enough for small children and older adults, so give it a try.
A customizable origami ribbonNEW!
You can write a message in the opening! Here’s how to fold a cute ribbon card.
Place the origami with the white side facing up.
Fold it using the Kannon fold, then fold both top corners down to the center.
Using the folded corners as a starting point, fold the corners diagonally.
Make a fold about 2.5 cm below the top corner.
Fold the center corner upward.
Fold the bottom edge up to meet the folded corners.
From the edge as the starting point, fold the corners diagonally downward.
Tuck the folded part into the gap.
Fold the center corner just a little, and your ribbon card is complete!
