[For Seniors] Enjoy Autumn with Cosmos Flower Wall Decorations! Easy Handmade Ideas (1–10)
Wreath of dragonflies and cosmos flowers
Cosmos flowers are one of the symbols of autumn, aren’t they? You might also have chances to see dragonflies gliding smoothly through the autumn sky.
Let’s make a wreath with cosmos and dragonflies as motifs to capture that autumn feeling.
We’ll give the dragonfly wings and cosmos petals a gradient effect.
Scribble with several colors of water-based pens on aluminum foil, then mist it with water.
Place the paper for the dragonfly wings and cosmos petals on top to transfer the colors onto the paper.
The soft, delicate gradient—hard to achieve with a brush—looks beautiful.
For the wreath base, using a paper plate with the center cut out makes it easy.
Attach the dragonflies and cosmos to the wreath to finish.
This autumn craft should help older adults feel the season as well.
Paper quilling cosmos
Let’s try making cosmos flowers with paper quilling, a craft where you roll long, thin strips of paper into coils.
Paper quilling makes use of the beauty of the spirals formed by rolled paper to create any shapes you like.
For the cosmos, you roll the paper to form petal shapes.
Quilling uses your fingertips a lot while rolling the paper, so it seems like a great way for older adults to enjoy crafting while stimulating the brain.
You can glue the pieces onto a backing sheet to make a lovely autumn calendar.
A single color looks nice, but using two colors of paper is also recommended.
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.

Cosmos flowers made with tissue paper
If you want to make a soft, warm-looking wall decoration, tissue paper is perfect.
Among the options, making cosmos flowers with purple tissue paper adds an autumn vibe.
The method is very simple, and you only use scissors once.
That makes it ideal for crafting with small children.
When you give it a try, make lots of cosmos.
If you display them on the wall so they overlap, it will turn out beautifully.
Please use this as a reference!
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.
