Paper quilling cosmos

[Autumn] Cosmos [Paper Quilling]

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

[Origami] How to Make a Cosmos (Autumn Cherry Blossom) Wreath

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 on the autumn plateau

Autumn Highland Cosmos: Easy-to-make paper flowers with origami, explained with audio

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.
