Box of cosmos flowers

Origami cosmos flower box folding method (niceno1) Origami cosmos flower box tutorial

Let me introduce how to make a cosmos flower with origami.

If you carefully craft the flower’s center, it will have a more three-dimensional look.

Use scissors to trim around the edges, then curl the parts with tweezers or a similar tool.

After that, secure it with glue to make it stable.

Pink petals are the most famous for cosmos, but they also come in orange, yellow, white, and red.

Having older adults choose origami in their favorite colors or patterns brings out individuality, which is lovely.

Making a bouquet and using it as wall decor is also recommended.

The colorful cosmos are sure to brighten your mood just by looking at them.

Cosmos decorations

[Origami] How to Make a Cosmos Decoration

Arrange the cosmos flowers in a circle for a bouquet-like decoration.

The base is made by combining paper folded like a screen, and you should be mindful of creating a rounded shape.

Then, add cosmos flowers made by cutting origami paper, along with decorations like ribbons to make it look like a bouquet, and you’re done.

Since cosmos are pink and white, it might be important to make the base in colors that help those shades stand out.

Using patterned origami paper as well as solid colors can make the result even more festive.

Cosmos (with stem)

How to make a paper cosmos flower (with stem) using origami / How to make Paper Cosmos with Stems

These cosmos flowers are designed with ease of display in mind and crafted all the way down to the stem.

The petals are made by folding origami, cutting into the fold to create an even spread, and placing a tightly fringed and rolled piece of yellow origami at the center.

For the stem, wrap a bamboo skewer with green origami paper; once you remove the skewer and neaten it, it’s complete.

Combine these parts to finish the full cosmos.

A key point is making the stem sturdy, so the finished piece can stand in a bottle or similar container for display.

Grapes made with toilet paper rolls

[Nursery Craft] Grape Craft: How to Make a 3D Version with Origami!

It’s a three-dimensional craft that looks like grapes placed on a plate.

Cut construction paper into a circle to represent a plate, then arrange circular rings made from cut toilet paper rolls into the shape of a grape cluster.

Stuff the circular rings with origami paper in grape colors, and finally attach a stem-shaped piece of construction paper to finish.

Be mindful of how you arrange the rings and choose color combinations that resemble grapes, such as purple and green.

The motion of crumpling the origami paper by hand also helps strengthen fine motor skills.

bouquet

How to Make an Origami Bouquet ♥ Cosmos ♥ 432 Hz Just Intonation BGM ♥ Digest Version ♥ How to Make Paper Flowers (Origami Cosmos)

This is a three-dimensional cosmos bouquet made by combining parts such as cosmos flowers, leaves, and wrapping.

Each part is created by cutting origami paper with scissors, and by layering, gluing, and angling the pieces, you achieve a 3D effect.

If you’re worried that simply gluing the pieces won’t provide enough strength when bundling them into a bouquet, threading a string through the center will make each flower sturdier.

Once the flower parts are finished, fold a sheet of paper into an accordion (screen-like) shape to use as the wrapping, assemble everything together, and add decorations like a ribbon to complete the bouquet.

Choosing your own color combinations to add originality is also recommended.

Real and simple maple leaf

【Autumn Origami】Realistic and Easy Maple / Origami Maple

Here’s an idea for maple leaves you can easily make with origami and display in lots of places.

First, fold the paper into a triangle with the side you want to show—the colored side—on the inside.

Fold it in half again, then open it.

Fold both sides toward the crease you just made, and open it again.

After adding radial crease lines to the triangular origami, begin folding by gathering those creases toward the edges.

The key is to offset each fold slightly.

Then, freehand draw the leaf shape, cut along the line, and open it up to reveal a maple leaf.

You can use this basic method for many different purposes.

Cute cosmos

[Origami] How to make a cute cosmos flower

The flower name “cosmos” is written with the characters for autumn and cherry blossom (秋桜) because its petals resemble those of cherry blossoms.

This time, let’s make a cosmos flower with origami.

By folding a single sheet of paper finely to create each petal, you can nicely express the flower’s distinctive jagged notches.

Since a cosmos has eight petals, prepare eight sheets of origami.

Also, the yellow central disk of the flower, made by snipping fine cuts into the paper, turns out beautifully.

If it strikes you as somewhat similar to a chrysanthemum, that’s because cosmos is a member of the Asteraceae family and is also known by another name, “Ōshagiku” (literally, great spring wheel chrysanthemum).
