Gather your supplies:

-Your choice of e-beads, not quite as small as seed beads.
-Scissors
-.5mm or .7mm stretchy jewelry cord, the .7mm is a bit harder to work with.
-a small binder clip, this will keep your end in place (bottom corner of picture you can see what it is)
-a towel or wash cloth can help you a lot when it comes to sorting out which beads you're using, so they don't scatter.

Cutting off 1-2 feet of your cord, fold it in half and clip the rounded end with the binder clip.

Taking one of your beeds, put it over the two ends and bring it up to the clip.

Taking two more of your beads, put one on each of the ends and bring it up towards the one you put on both.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have your desired length of braclet or necklace. And then tie the looped end to the loose ends.

End notes:

A cute way to give your creation as a gift or display or to sell is to put it in small tins.
