What often concerns people when making cosmos flowers is that there are so many intricate steps: finely cutting the petal shapes, and dealing with leaves and stems that have lots of thin lines—very detailed work.

But this method for making cosmos is very simple! For the petals, use paper tape and just cut the tips all at once with pinking shears.

For the stems and leaves, simply cut and twist green pipe cleaners, so even those who aren’t good at delicate tasks can give it a try.

With this method, you can make lots of them—an entire wall covered in cosmos isn’t just a dream!

How you fold it is the key point: paying attention to precise creases leads to evenly spread petals and a beautiful look.

After folding it into a triangle, you draw the petal pattern and cut along the lines—these lines are also important because they determine details like how slender the petals will be.

Then just unfold it, place a sticker or something similar in the center, and it’s done.

You might also create a sense of depth by overlapping pieces at angles or other small tweaks.

This is a three-dimensional cosmos flower that you complete by repeatedly folding it down small, using the creases radiating in eight directions from the center as guides.

The process involves stacking triangles to match the number of petals, and as you crease the tips of the triangles, you also form the center of the cosmos.

Precise, crisp refolds are crucial, so pay close attention to the creases and fold accurately.

Along the way, gently twist and open the paper to shape the flower, giving it a soft, rounded form.

Here’s how to make a cosmos flower that shows both sides of the origami paper to create a two-toned bloom.

It’s a delicate process, but you only need origami paper, and the key is making small cuts at the end to create petal-like shapes.

There are many folding steps, but if you go slowly, it’s not too difficult.

It might be nice to fold them together during craft time at a facility and use them as wall decorations.

Using double-sided colored origami paper would also make the flowers colorful and beautiful.

In conclusion

Cosmos wall decorations are an autumn tradition that anyone can enjoy making.

The gentle pink and white petals add a warm touch to any space.

It’s lovely to cut out the petals and shape them together with older adults while sharing fond memories.

Seeing the carefully crafted pieces brighten the wall is sure to create a soothing, heartwarming moment.
