[For Seniors] Enjoy Autumn with Cosmos Flower Wall Decorations! Easy DIY Ideas

Cute cosmos

[Origami] How to make a cute cosmos flower

The flower name “cosmos” is written with the characters for autumn and cherry blossom (秋桜) because its petals resemble those of cherry blossoms.

This time, let’s make a cosmos flower with origami.

By folding a single sheet of paper finely to create each petal, you can nicely express the flower’s distinctive jagged notches.

Since a cosmos has eight petals, prepare eight sheets of origami.

Also, the yellow central disk of the flower, made by snipping fine cuts into the paper, turns out beautifully.

If it strikes you as somewhat similar to a chrysanthemum, that’s because cosmos is a member of the Asteraceae family and is also known by another name, “Ōshagiku” (literally, great spring wheel chrysanthemum).

It’s a simple craft where the edge of the origami is cut into the shape of cosmos petals.

Because the shape and look are very simple, it’s also great for layering to add volume or using as decoration parts.

First, fold the paper in half, then fold it in half again to make a crease.

Use those creases as a guide to fold it into a triangle.

Draw lines in the shape of cosmos petals there, cut along the lines, and when you open the paper, the cosmos shape is complete.

To achieve a beautiful finished piece with evenly arranged petals, it’s important to fold precisely along the creases.

Cosmos flower wreath

Cosmos Wreath / Flower Papercutting 72

Cosmos, a representative flower of autumn—why not brighten up your room with a wreath of origami flowers? Fold a single sheet of paper into eighths, then cut it into a petal shape as if making a paper cutout; when you unfold it, you’ll have a cosmos with eight petals.

There are no intricate folding steps to create petal details, so it’s beginner-friendly.

Use several colors of paper—pink, orange, yellow, white, red—to add vibrancy.

It’s even better if you use origami of different sizes to make flowers both large and small.

Here’s a very easy way to make cosmos flowers using scrap materials.

Cosmos Plate Artwork Made with Tissue-Paper Collage

Kimie Gangi’s tissue paper collage “Cosmos Paper-Cut Decorative Plate.”

How about making cosmos flowers out of tissue paper and decorating a paper plate to create a cosmos picture plate? Fold the tissue paper into thirds, then fold a corner into a triangle to make a square.

Fold that up and cut out petal shapes—this lets you make three cosmos flowers at once.

Use your preferred colors of tissue paper, such as red, pink, or white.

Brush a layer of glue thinned with water onto the paper plate, then arrange the cosmos on top.

Brush more glue over the flowers to set them in place.

If you also decorate the rim of the paper plate with tissue paper in colors you like, let it dry thoroughly and you’re done.
