[For Seniors] Simple Recommended Cosmos Origami Ideas

Cosmos flower wreath

Cosmos Wreath / Flower Papercutting 72

Cosmos, a representative flower of autumn—why not brighten up your room with a wreath of origami flowers? Fold a single sheet of paper into eighths, then cut it into a petal shape as if making a paper cutout; when you unfold it, you’ll have a cosmos with eight petals.

There are no intricate folding steps to create petal details, so it’s beginner-friendly.

Use several colors of paper—pink, orange, yellow, white, red—to add vibrancy.

It’s even better if you use origami of different sizes to make flowers both large and small.

Three-Dimensional Cosmos

I tried making 3D cosmos origami #shorts

This is a three-dimensional cosmos flower that you complete by repeatedly folding it down small, using the creases radiating in eight directions from the center as guides.

The process involves stacking triangles to match the number of petals, and as you crease the tips of the triangles, you also form the center of the cosmos.

Precise, crisp refolds are crucial, so pay close attention to the creases and fold accurately.

Along the way, gently twist and open the paper to shape the flower, giving it a soft, rounded form.

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.
