Making Carrie’s Button String – Little House Pioneer Activity

When Laura and Mary found pretty beads from the Indian camp in Little House on the Prairie, they strung them onto a string to make a bead string for Carrie.  And in On the Banks of Plum Creek, Laura and Mary did a similar one with buttons from Ma’s button jar to give to Carrie for Christmas

Supplies

  • String or yarn
  • Buttons or beads

Instructions

  1. To begin, tie a large knot (larger than the hole in the first bead or button) or you can tie the first bead or button to the end.
  2. String beads and buttons on, in whichever order you like.
  3. When finished, you can tie both ends together to make a necklace.

If you need an assortment of buttons, this is a great deal of 100 buttons in various sizes:
