Button Snake

In a quiet activity swap I did a few years ago, I received this button snake.  I had never heard of a button snake before then and have found this little gem to be priceless.  It's SUPER easy to make and has really helped my daughter learn about buttons and kept her busy in church and long car rides.

Items Needed:

One large button

12" of ribbon

Varying colors of felt

Needle 

Thread

Directions:

1.  Cut out (12) 3" squares from your felt.  If 3 colors of felt, then you want to cut 4 of each color.

2.  Cut a slit in each felt square large enough for the button to pass through with the exception of one.  Leave one square untouched.

3.  With the untouched square, sew ribbon onto center as seen above.

4.  With the other side of ribbon, sew it onto the button.  

5.  "Button" each square of felt to your snake.
