Papercut Cosmos

[Autumn Origami] Easy! Cute Cosmos Flowers / Autumn Flower Kirigami Decorations - Origami Cosmos

Here’s a simple project you can make with scissors.

Prepare one 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm pink origami sheet for the petals and one 7.5 cm × 3.75 cm yellow origami sheet for the pistil.

First, take the pink origami, fold it into a triangle three times with the colored side on the inside, then fold it once more from the edge.

Cut off the part that sticks out, open it back by one fold, mark the shape of cosmos petals, and cut along the marks.

Make a small cut in the center to create a slit, then open it up to complete the petals.

For the pistil, fold the yellow strip lengthwise twice, open one of the folds, make fine slits along the edge, and roll it up tightly.

Finally, insert it into the center of the cosmos you made, and you’re done! You can attach a chenille stem for the stalk and display it.

One sheet of origami! Cosmos origami

[1 Sheet of Origami] Easy Cosmos Origami Instructions / How To Make an Origami Cosmos

Since you can easily make it with a single sheet of origami paper, let’s create cosmos flowers in various colors to brighten up your room! First, with the colored side of the origami facing inward, crease diagonally to form an X.

With the white side facing up, make vertical and horizontal creases to form a cross.

Use the creases to collapse into a square base, then on one side, fold the three corners toward the center to make creases.

Open it along the creases so it extends vertically, and fold it down.

On the reverse side, repeat up to the step of opening it vertically, then spread it left and right and fold it flat.

Make small cuts to create the cosmos flower’s characteristic angular petals.

Finally, stick a yellow round seal in the center, and you’re done!

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.

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.

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).
