Using this step by step image of a how to create a swan, we created three swans by using three pieces of white paper, one bigger than the other two so that way you can have one big one and two small ones. Make sure to hot glue your swans to the paper because we found that they are not very good at standing up by themselves.

In this step we created the lotus flower by following the step by step. We created two of them, one for each lily pad. Instead of regular paper we used tissue paper to make it easier to make all of the folds this flower requires.

In this step we followed the step by step to making an origami tree. To make our trees we stacked up four layers of these on top of each other that way it would look better and have better texture. For one of the trees we used three different colored greens and on the other tree we used pink to make it look like a cherry blossom tree. And for the final tree we also used green but used bigger paper to make the tree much bigger than the others.

Step 7: Creating the Frog
