Cheerful Cosmos
Depending on where you live, cosmos flowers bloom during the summer and don't last past the first frost. Unless they're made out of paper, of course! One of the great things about making paper flowers is that you can enjoy your favorite flowers any time of the year and for as long as you want. Today I am showing you how to make these crepe paper chocolate cosmos flowers using my double-sided crepe paper in sangria and aubergine. The rest of the tools and materials you'll need are listed below—along with a video tutorial that shows you how to craft these beautiful flowers.
Also, if you prefer working with felt, then you might enjoy making these felt cosmos flowers. Another project that would look really pretty with this one is our asymmetrical winter wreath.

Cosmos flowers always look so delightful. Not only are they fun to craft, but they also bring so much joy, I think, just by looking at them! You can craft these beauties to brighten someone's day or to add a splash of color in your own home.
While you can make these crepe paper chocolate cosmos in whatever color you like, I love the vibrant hue of our double-sided sangria and aubergine crepe. To get started on this project, gather the tools and materials below. Then download either the SVG file or PDF template at the end of this post. Once you have everything ready, watch the video tutorial to learn how to make your own cosmos flowers.

This says you are using green tea & cypress double sided for the leaves but it looks like ferns & moss in the pictures as the color difference is so subtle and there are no mirrored leaves in the pattern. Can you confirm?
I enjoy paper flowers using frosted, metallic, shimmer paper, probably all the same. I’d rather not paint. I’m not very artistic but I can make flowers. I’m wondering if the paper used makes a difference or is the template made for any paper?
Hi! You are certainly welcome to customize your project and leave out the painting if you prefer. Our patterns and templates are designed specifically with the paper in mind, and most will not translate well to different types of paper.

You are right! This is a Ferns & Moss. I think the Green Tea & Cypress would look great too but I would keep the same color on one side. 🙂

These are so pretty ! Maybe it’s because the colors are my favorite and I always loved gold !
So glad to hear it Debra 🙂
