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!
Papercut 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.
3D origami cosmos flower
Cosmos, a flower that represents autumn, is simple and cute when you look at each blossom individually.
But a field covered in blooming cosmos is truly overwhelming and spectacular, isn’t it? How about recreating that cosmos field by scattering three-dimensional cosmos flowers all over a wall? You can make the cosmos flowers by cutting folded origami paper; by leaving the base intact and cutting away part of it, you create a gluing tab, resulting in flowers with a three-dimensional look.
For the leaves and stems, use the technique of detailed paper-cutting with fine-tipped scissors, and be careful not to overcut.
Cosmos bouquet

When you think of flowers that are at their best from September to October, it’s got to be cosmos, with their vivid pink, white, and yellow blooms.
How about enjoying their beauty at home, too? You can make them using origami paper, tissue paper, or construction paper.
The center of the flower—the stamens and pistil—is especially well crafted and looks beautiful.
Just decorating a room with them instantly creates a bright, cheerful atmosphere.
And since they’re made of paper, another nice thing is that you can enjoy the flowers for as long as you like!
Cosmos wall decoration made with Japanese materials

In autumn, cosmos flowers bloom in cute shades of pink and white.
How about making wall decorations with these cosmos? There are many ways: cut construction paper into cosmos shapes and paste them, or fold origami several times, make cuts, and unfold it to form the petals.
Using washi paper is also recommended, as it gives your work a unique texture.
Besides pink and white, cosmos come in various colors like red and orange, so try making cosmos in many colors and turn your room into a beautiful cosmos field.
Frame of “Grapes and Cosmos”

Autumn is a season with many delicious fruits, and among them, grapes come in many varieties.
And when it comes to symbolic autumn flowers, cosmos are a classic.
Here’s an idea: frame and display these two together.
For the grapes, to create a three-dimensional look, cut several half-circle pieces of origami paper to the same size and assemble them as if making half of a paper ball.
Stack the origami sheets and trace the template from above, then cut them all at once for efficiency.
For the cosmos, use pink, red, white, and yellow paper; simply cut petal shapes and layer a few together.
Try decorating the basket with grape leaves and tendrils as well.

Cosmos hanging ornament

How about making a cosmos wall decoration with beautiful, delicate stems and leaves? All you need is origami paper and wood glue, so it’s easy to make.
For the flowers, join two petal-shaped pieces together, and use yellow origami in the center to create the pistil.
Give the petals dimension by adding layers or curling them so they look almost like real cosmos.
For the stems and leaves, cut them as you would for paper cutouts—be careful with the fine parts so they don’t get cut off.
Finally, roll a thin strip of origami into a border, place the pieces on top, and you’re done.
You can enjoy it not only as a wall decoration but also by hanging it.
