Easy cosmos flowers made with paper

Cute paper cosmos flowers (with voice-over instructions) – How to make them

Let’s make a three-dimensional cosmos flower out of paper.

Cut a strip of paper lengthwise, fold it in the center, and attach both ends together to form a cosmos petal.

If you look closely, the petal even looks like a heart, adding extra cuteness.

Glue the petals together to create a cosmos flower, and you’ll have a dimensional piece.

Add the paper-made stamens to finish.

When displayed on the wall, it gives the room a bright, festive feel.

Being in a room with an impressive cosmos craft might lift the spirits of older adults, too.

It’s a simple method, so give it a try!

Noren Cosmos made with tissue paper

✄ [Flower Paper] Easy! String Curtain Made with Tissue Paper - Cosmos

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.

Flag garland made with paper plates

[Crafts/Making] [Easy Wall Decoration] Flag Garland Made from Paper Plates

At sports days held in schoolyards or athletic fields, you may sometimes see strings of flags from various countries hung up as decorations.

These are called international flags, and they add a festive atmosphere that’s perfect for a sports day.

They’re great for seniors’ sports days as well.

Since seniors’ sports events are often held indoors, garlands are especially recommended.

Draw designs of different national flags on paper plates, connect them with string, and turn them into a garland.

Because you’ll make many flags, participants can encounter countries they didn’t know about or see unusual designs.

Creating the flags can also spark lively conversation.

Frame of “Grapes and Cosmos”

“Grapes × Cosmos” September wall display with framed decorations

Autumn is a season with many delicious fruits, and among them, grapes come in many varieties.

And when it comes to symbolic autumn flowers, cosmos are a classic.

Here’s an idea: frame and display these two together.

For the grapes, to create a three-dimensional look, cut several half-circle pieces of origami paper to the same size and assemble them as if making half of a paper ball.

Stack the origami sheets and trace the template from above, then cut them all at once for efficiency.

For the cosmos, use pink, red, white, and yellow paper; simply cut petal shapes and layer a few together.

Try decorating the basket with grape leaves and tendrils as well.

Cosmos hanging ornament

Introducing how to make paper cosmos flowers with origami! Why not decorate for autumn by hanging them on the wall or suspending them? [Tsukuru Mon]

How about making a cosmos wall decoration with beautiful, delicate stems and leaves? All you need is origami paper and wood glue, so it’s easy to make.

For the flowers, join two petal-shaped pieces together, and use yellow origami in the center to create the pistil.

Give the petals dimension by adding layers or curling them so they look almost like real cosmos.

For the stems and leaves, cut them as you would for paper cutouts—be careful with the fine parts so they don’t get cut off.

Finally, roll a thin strip of origami into a border, place the pieces on top, and you’re done.

You can enjoy it not only as a wall decoration but also by hanging it.

Torn-paper collage: Moon-viewing rabbit

Handmade calendar created with torn-paper collageSmall-scale multifunctional in-home care#Habikino CityCare service providerRecreationCalendar#Chigiri-eStaff recruitment

Original Song – WHITEBOX [official] – WHITEBOX [official]

Otsukimi (moon-viewing) is one of Japan’s long-standing traditions.

So, let’s make a moon-viewing scene with a rabbit for the September calendar using torn-paper collage.

Because you use your fingertips to tear and paste the paper onto a backing sheet, this kind of collage can also serve as brain training.

The September moon-viewing is known as Jūgoya or the Harvest Moon and is held on the full moon around September 15.

It became cherished as an autumn harvest festival, and because people offered taro as a prayer for a good harvest, it came to be called Imomeigetsu (“Taro Moon”).

Many older adults may also be very familiar with September’s moon-viewing.

Try making it while chatting about Otsukimi.

It varies by variety, but cosmos flowers are at their best around September.

You’ve probably seen fields covered in colorful cosmos, haven’t you? Cosmos is a seasonal word for autumn in haiku, and it also has a commemorative day in September.

Incorporating cosmos— which evoke autumn and September— into a calendar can help older adults feel the season as well.

Cut origami or construction paper into cosmos shapes and paste them onto the calendar backing.

If you also make dragonflies, a quintessential autumn insect, and display them together, you’ll create a piece that conveys an even stronger autumn atmosphere.
