It's quick and totally simple. You'll need:
- a button
- a ribbon (50 cm will do)
- several pieces of (thick) felt

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

1) Sew the button to one side of the ribbon.
Step 2

2) Sew a 2cm x 2cm piece of felt to the other side of the ribbon (this will prevent the pieces on the ‘snake’ from falling off)
Step 3

3) Cut 5 (or more) pieces of felt to your liking (I chose squares, each piece is 10 cm x 10 cm)
Step 4

4) … and cut a button hole into the middle portion of each piece (the hole size depends ojn the size of the button you’ve used)

Then you can start putting these felt pieces through the button onto the ‘snake’. Let the fun begin!
