Frame of “Grapes and Cosmos”

“Grapes × Cosmos” September wall display with framed decorations

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

Introducing how to make paper cosmos flowers with origami! Why not decorate for autumn by hanging them on the wall or suspending them? [Tsukuru Mon]

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.

3D origami cosmos flower

[Craft Idea] Cosmos (Sep–Oct) (Wall Decorations) (Activities for Seniors / Occupational Therapy / Early Childhood Education) (Origami) (Original Design) (DIY Papercraft) (Flower Crafts)

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.
