Cosmos made of paper tape

Making cosmos with paper tape · Autumn wall decor · Easy because it's paper tape · Can be made beautifully · Wall decoration · Cosmos ❤︎ DIY/tutorial/How to make cosmos/paper tape ❤︎ #680

What often concerns people when making cosmos flowers is that there are so many intricate steps: finely cutting the petal shapes, and dealing with leaves and stems that have lots of thin lines—very detailed work.

But this method for making cosmos is very simple! For the petals, use paper tape and just cut the tips all at once with pinking shears.

For the stems and leaves, simply cut and twist green pipe cleaners, so even those who aren’t good at delicate tasks can give it a try.

With this method, you can make lots of them—an entire wall covered in cosmos isn’t just a dream!

Papercut flowers

[Origami] Paper-Cut Flowers (11) Cosmos 🌸

Here’s an idea for making a cosmos flower with paper cutting.

Fold the origami into the specified shape, sketch the petals, and cut along the lines to create a large, single cosmos when you open it.

First, fold the origami in half into a square twice, then fold it once more into a triangle.

Lift half of the stacked layers and fold them so the bottom edge aligns with the left side.

On the other side, fold so the bottom edge aligns with the right side.

That’s the end of the folding steps.

Draw the petal pattern and cut along the lines with scissors.

If you place a yellow round sticker in the center, it will look even more like a cosmos.

chrysanthemum flower

Wall decoration: Two easy types of chrysanthemum flowers made with origami and colored paper (with voice-over). How to make easy chrysanthemum flowers from paper / 2 types.

There are many varieties of chrysanthemums, aren’t there? Because there are so many types, their peak viewing season lasts throughout most of the year, except during the cold winter months.

Chrysanthemums have long been familiar flowers in Japan, so many older adults likely feel a close connection to them.

Here, we’ll introduce a wall decoration made with origami chrysanthemums.

Fold the origami paper and cut it so that it forms petal shapes.

Open and refold the paper, tie a string at the center, and adjust the petals to finish.

The number of petals will change depending on how you fold the paper.

You can also make beautiful chrysanthemums by creating petals from strip-shaped construction paper and gluing them together.

Let’s decorate with various kinds of chrysanthemums to brighten up the facility.

Being in a room with chrysanthemums is sure to bring a sense of calm to older adults.
