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.

Cheerful Cosmos

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.
