[Origami] How to Make a Cosmos Decoration

Arrange the cosmos flowers in a circle for a bouquet-like decoration.

The base is made by combining paper folded like a screen, and you should be mindful of creating a rounded shape.

Then, add cosmos flowers made by cutting origami paper, along with decorations like ribbons to make it look like a bouquet, and you’re done.

Since cosmos are pink and white, it might be important to make the base in colors that help those shades stand out.

Using patterned origami paper as well as solid colors can make the result even more festive.

Paper cutout of cosmos flowers

[Origami] Paper-Cut Flowers (11) Cosmos 🌸

A simple and beautiful cosmos flower made by cutting origami paper.

How you fold it is the key point: paying attention to precise creases leads to evenly spread petals and a beautiful look.

After folding it into a triangle, you draw the petal pattern and cut along the lines—these lines are also important because they determine details like how slender the petals will be.

Then just unfold it, place a sticker or something similar in the center, and it’s done.

You might also create a sense of depth by overlapping pieces at angles or other small tweaks.

Cosmos (with stem)

How to make a paper cosmos flower (with stem) using origami / How to make Paper Cosmos with Stems

These cosmos flowers are designed with ease of display in mind and crafted all the way down to the stem.

The petals are made by folding origami, cutting into the fold to create an even spread, and placing a tightly fringed and rolled piece of yellow origami at the center.

For the stem, wrap a bamboo skewer with green origami paper; once you remove the skewer and neaten it, it’s complete.

Combine these parts to finish the full cosmos.

A key point is making the stem sturdy, so the finished piece can stand in a bottle or similar container for display.
