Let’s make a cosmos craft with beautiful translucency using tissue paper.

Stack three colors of tissue paper and cut them into cosmos petal shapes.

Sort the cut pieces by color and assemble the cosmos flowers.

Use watered-down glue to attach the tissue-paper cosmos to an OPP sheet for bouquets.

This will create a semi-transparent cosmos sheet.

You can fold or roll the sheet to make a variety of creations.

Let me introduce a noren-style cosmos decoration made from tissue paper that will brighten up your room.

Prepare tissue paper, paper straws, string, and a tension rod, and let’s get started.

Fold and cut the tissue paper to create petal pieces.

By adding curves or cutting jagged edges, you can make more three-dimensional flowers.

Hang the string on the tension rod, then attach the petals and stamen parts to the string.

Form small loops in the string and thread the petals through as you go.

It’s also important to adjust the shapes so the petals don’t overlap.

We’ll make the flower parts—sunflowers and cosmos—using origami.

When cutting the petals, you can create a three-dimensional shape by being mindful of the folds and cutting method.

These delicate, hands-on tasks also provide great stimulation for the brain.

For both the cosmos and sunflowers, consider varying the sizes and attach them to the wreath base with glue.

By being creative with the way you arrange and layer the flowers, you can highlight their delicacy and beauty, resulting in a lovely finished wreath.

Gradient Cosmos

Cosmos flowers often flutter delicately and come in vivid colors.

Let’s try making a paper craft that captures the feel of cosmos flowers.

We’ll use medium-weight colored quality paper, which has more body than copy paper and is just the right thickness for folding and layering.

After cutting the paper into petal shapes, add a gradient.

Create the gradient by smudging crayon with your finger.

The key is to wrap your finger with plastic wrap when making the gradient.

This method seems enjoyable for older adults as well.

Layer the petals to form a cosmos flower.

Make some leaves and attach them to the flower to finish it off even more beautifully.

Fold paper to create the stems and leaves.

Since the stems and leaves are delicate, the key is to carefully make small cuts with scissors as you work.

When attaching the stems to the base cardstock, adhere them while forming a slight curve to give a three-dimensional finish.

Attach the cosmos flowers as well to complete a dazzling cosmos wall decoration.

Changing the colors of the cosmos will make it even more vibrant.

This is a cosmos flower craft made by dabbing like stamping.

Cut a paper plate into the shape of a cosmos flower.

It’s easier if you first sketch the cosmos on the paper plate and then cut it out.

Place the cut paper plate on a sheet of paper, and dab a sponge with paint onto it to create cute cosmos flowers.

Try using cosmos-like colors such as pink, white, and red.

Aside from cutting the paper plate, there aren’t many complicated steps, so it’s a project that many older adults can easily participate in.
