Papercut flowers

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.
Bouquet of cosmos flowers

Many people are delighted to receive a bouquet, not just cosmos.
This time, we’re introducing a cosmos bouquet that’s fun to make and a joy to give.
Let’s fold several kinds of cosmos with origami and arrange them into a bouquet.
Choosing the colors of origami for the bouquet can be enjoyable too, don’t you think? Try making it in the favorite colors of the seniors you’re giving it to.
It’s also recommended as a bouquet gift for autumn birthdays or Respect-for-the-Aged Day.
How about adding a message card and presenting it as a gift?
Origami Cosmos Wreath

Here’s a perfect autumn craft: an origami cosmos wreath.
Fold origami paper to make the cosmos flowers and the wreath base.
Fold 8 petal pieces for each cosmos.
Glue the pieces together, trim the tips, and fan them out to complete the flower.
Adding a yellow sticker to the center makes it look even more like a cosmos.
Attach the origami cosmos and leaves to the origami wreath base to finish.
It’s also a delightful activity to chat with others while folding.
The finished piece can be taken home and displayed in a senior’s room.
Cosmos flowers on the autumn plateau

The cosmos, with its colorful round blossoms, is a delicate flower.
Seeing them bloom in autumn fields and flower beds makes you feel the arrival of fall, doesn’t it? Older adults, too, may sense the changing seasons when they see cosmos and other autumn plants.
Here, we introduce a cosmos-themed craft that captures that seasonal feeling.
First fold origami paper, then cut it into the shape of a cosmos.
Use your fingers to gently curve the petals so they look rounded.
You can also make petals with tissue paper, and add leaves to the cosmos to finish.
If you make lots of cosmos and stick them on paper or on the wall, it will feel like you’ve come to a highland where cosmos are in full bloom.
A wreath of vividly colored cosmos flowers

Here is an introduction to making a cosmos wreath with origami.
Cosmos petals are long and slender, right? We’ll make petals in that shape using a single sheet of origami paper.
First, fold the paper to create crease lines, then fold it into the shape of a cosmos.
Some of the folding steps are a bit complex, so older adults or others may find parts challenging.
Please have people nearby help out during the craft.
Once you’ve folded the cosmos flowers, glue them together to form a wreath.
Since the cosmos ends up shaped like a medal, it would also make a lovely gift as a medal-style decoration.
Sunflower and cosmos wreath decoration

Let me introduce a bright and cute sunflower and cosmos wreath decoration.
We’ll make the flower parts—sunflowers and cosmos—using origami.
When cutting the petals, you can create a three-dimensional shape by being mindful of the folds and cutting method.
These delicate, hands-on tasks also provide great stimulation for the brain.
For both the cosmos and sunflowers, consider varying the sizes and attach them to the wreath base with glue.
By being creative with the way you arrange and layer the flowers, you can highlight their delicacy and beauty, resulting in a lovely finished wreath.
In conclusion
