Cut a piece of elastic string long enough to fit around your wrist. Attach the female side of a barrel clip to one side.

Thread the beads onto the string. The clip will stop them from sliding off the end. Place one bead from each group on at a time so you have intermediate colors.

Tie the male side of the barrel clip on the other side of the string.
