Origami Flowers (1–10)
Easy! Cosmos OrigamiNEW!

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.
Cosmos like a medalNEW!

Origami cosmos that resemble a medal are perfect as a gift for celebrations! First, fold a 3.75 cm × 3.75 cm yellow sheet of origami into a small octagon to make the pistil.
Next, for the petals, prepare a 15 cm × 15 cm sheet and fold with the side you want as the petal color facing inward.
Fold vertically to create a crease, then fold both edges toward that crease and flip it over.
Fold all four corners into triangles, unfold everything, then fold the same shapes in the opposite direction.
Using the creases, form shapes like two boats, then make four squares, and from each square create two diamond-like shapes.
Finally, fold the corners, make a slit in the center of each diamond and open it up, then attach the pistil in the center, and you’re done! Using tweezers to lift the petals will add a three-dimensional look.
Cute cosmos paper cutoutNEW!

It’s easy to make by just folding and cutting, so it’s great for making lots! First, with the colored side facing inward, fold it into a square twice, then fold it into a triangle once.
Next, from the open side, fold it once more toward the opposite side.
Draw guideline lines in the shape of cosmos petals, then cut along those lines with scissors.
After that, open the origami and stick a yellow round sticker in the center to finish! If you make many in different colors and sizes and decorate with them, your room will turn into a vibrant field of cosmos flowers! It’s also perfect for kids to practice using scissors, so give it a try.
Papercut CosmosNEW!

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.
For kids too! Cute cosmos flowersNEW!

Prepare four 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm pink origami squares, one 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm sheet for the base, and one 3.75 cm × 3.75 cm yellow sheet for the central pistil.
For the pink sheets, start by folding them in half into a triangle twice, then open once and fold both sides toward the crease.
While folding the corners, shape it like a heart to create two petals.
Make this with all four pink sheets.
For the base and the pistil, make cross creases first, then form an octagon.
Finally, glue the petals onto the base first, then attach the pistil in the center to finish! Try making many, varying the petal colors for interest.
