Easy! Cosmos Origami

[Origami] Easy way to fold a cosmos flower: autumn origami, a not-difficult method that even kids can make [origami]

Here’s something you can make by folding, cutting, and gluing.

First, make three vertical crease lines, then add seven more vertical creases from the opposite direction.

Open it up, and along the first three creases you made, fold so that both ends are folded inward, leaving the center open.

Following the seven creases you made, cut the sheet into four equal strips.

Fold each strip lengthwise into a narrow piece, then glue them together in a radial pattern to form the petals.

Attach a green strip of origami paper folded lengthwise for the stem, and you’re done! Try making lots, bundling them into a bouquet, or decorating a wall with just the petals.

[Autumn Origami] Easy! Cute Cosmos Flowers / Autumn Flower Kirigami Decorations - Origami 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.

One sheet of origami! Cosmos origami

[1 Sheet of Origami] Easy Cosmos Origami Instructions / How To Make an Origami Cosmos

Since you can easily make it with a single sheet of origami paper, let’s create cosmos flowers in various colors to brighten up your room! First, with the colored side of the origami facing inward, crease diagonally to form an X.

With the white side facing up, make vertical and horizontal creases to form a cross.

Use the creases to collapse into a square base, then on one side, fold the three corners toward the center to make creases.

Open it along the creases so it extends vertically, and fold it down.

On the reverse side, repeat up to the step of opening it vertically, then spread it left and right and fold it flat.

Make small cuts to create the cosmos flower’s characteristic angular petals.

Finally, stick a yellow round seal in the center, and you’re done!

Two types of hanging decorations with plum blossoms

Two types of cute paper plum blossom decorations (with audio commentary) – How to make

How about a plum-blossom decoration that’s very simple yet instantly adds a festive touch just by displaying it? Here are two types of hanging ornaments you can make with colored construction paper.

Prepare five strips each of 2 cm × 15 cm and 2 cm × 10 cm paper.

Stack two strips, align the ends, staple them, and round them into a petal shape.

Make five of these in the same way and glue them together.

Finish by attaching a circular piece of paper in the center.

For the second type, cut two sheets of origami into circles, shape each into petals, then cut one to create a three-dimensional effect and glue them together.

Once both types of plum blossoms are finished, use string or ribbon to make them into hanging ornaments.

They sway beautifully as elegant plum-blossom decorations.

yaezakura (double-flowered cherry blossoms)

[Origami] Easy! 3D Double-Flowered Cherry Blossoms: Luxurious Spring Wall Decorations! For Preschool and Elder Care Activities | How to Make Easy Origami Cherry Blossoms (Double-Flowered Sakura)

Cherry blossoms are a motif that symbolizes spring in Japan, and their soft colors really convey the warmth of the season.

This decoration expresses cherry blossoms with origami, layering petals to create a double-flowered yaezakura finish.

The tree is attached flat onto a background mount, and then three-dimensional flower pieces are arranged on top.

Doubling the flowers is a key point for adding depth, and giving them creases so they appear slightly lifted enhances the three-dimensional effect.

Letting small petals seem to dance around suggests a spring breeze, which is also recommended.
