On the Great Plains, nineteenth-century settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without timber and nails.
(A) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, doing it without
(B) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, did it without
(C) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making them while not having
(D) settlers used mud and grass to build their homes, making do without
(E) settlers’ homes were built of mud and grass, making do without
I doubt whether the construct is ok.

Iam going out on a limb here and picking D.
D seems to bring out what they did not have when they built the houses.
A and B dont indicate whether timber and nails were for the house or for the mud and grass
C is blabbering
E ninteenth century settlers's homes does not sound right

I will vote for D
Making do is more accurate than making them...
