How to fold cosmos flowers that even kids can make
Here’s an easy way to fold a cosmos flower that even small children can make.
Fold the origami paper in half horizontally, then fold the top and bottom edges along the crease.
Turn it vertically and make the same creases.
Open the left and right sides and fold them in to form the petals.
Cut off the four corners, then make slits in each section to create eight petals.
Stick a yellow round sticker in the center to finish.
Be careful when using scissors so you don’t cut your hands.
Try making lots in your favorite colors to brighten up your room.
With a single sheet of origami! Three-dimensional planar cosmos
A three-dimensional, flat cosmos flower that’s perfect for messages or wall decor.
Prepare one sheet of origami.
Start by making a crease down the middle, then change the shape into a triangle or square as you go, adding creases along the center line.
If you make firm creases, it will fold smoothly when you tuck in the cosmos petals.
When forming the flower portion, fold each petal one by one, aligning the tip with the creases and adjusting the angle as you go to create a neat cosmos.
Finally, fold the corners to round the overall shape, and your cosmos is complete.
Give it a try!
One sheet of origami! How to fold a cute cosmos flower
Let’s prepare scissors and origami paper to make cosmos flowers in your favorite colors.
First, crease the origami by folding it into a triangle and then a square.
Gently puff it up and squash fold it to create the base for the petals; make four bases so they form a square shape.
After folding the paper into petal shapes, use scissors to make small cuts.
Tuck in the tips so they form petal points, shape the whole piece into a cosmos, and finish by making a small outward tuck in the center.
It might also be fun to use patterned origami paper.

Cosmos made with four sheets of origami
Let’s make a cosmos flower that uses four sheets of origami, where the volume really highlights its elegance.
Fold the origami into a square, puff it up, and gently squash it into a triangle.
After folding the tip of the triangle down to align with the center line at the bottom, slowly open the pocket of the origami to form the cosmos flower.
Fold the remaining sheets in the same way, then glue the four pieces together at the center to complete one cosmos.
The steps are simple and easy, so give it a try!
The petals are 3D! How to fold a cute cosmos flower
Here’s how to fold a cosmos with eight petals using four sheets of origami paper.
Use your preferred colors for the flower sections and yellow origami for the center.
For the petal parts, make crease lines on 5 cm square origami paper, then fold along those creases.
Each sheet makes two petals.
Cut the tips of the petals into a jagged shape to represent the cosmos.
After making four petal parts, combine and adjust them.
For the center, take a long, narrow strip of yellow origami paper and make lots of small cuts in it.
Assemble it with the flower to finish.
You’ll create a cosmos with beautifully three-dimensional petals.
A cosmos whose petals only need to be folded three times
How about a cosmos flower with plenty of petals that looks almost real? Fold a 7.5 cm square of origami paper into a triangle three times, draw the shape of a petal with a pencil, then cut it out.
If you cut it with a jagged edge, you can recreate the distinctive cosmos petals.
Make two of these and glue them together.
For the center, take a yellow piece of origami paper 7.5 cm wide and 2 cm tall, fold it in half, make many fine slits, and roll it up.
Secure the end with glue and gently flare the slit portion outward.
Attach it to the flower, and you’re done.
It’s amazing that you can make a lovely cosmos with just three folds!
3D! Star-shaped accessory case
You can flatten and store it when not in use! It’s a star-shaped trinket box.
Fold the origami in half, then in half again to make a square.
After creasing, open it back to the half-folded state, align both side edges to the center line to crease, then unfold.
Fold the two bottom corners up to the outer crease, then fold again so the new creases align with the center line.
In this state, trim off the unnecessary top portion, and the origami becomes a hexagon.
Fold the edges of the hexagon inward, crease the center of the origami into a hexagon, then keep adding creases as you collapse it into a smaller hexagon.
Finally, fold the center area outward to make the opening of the container, press the sides inward to form a star shape, and you’re done!
