English term or phrase: key is done
If your classroom has an extra budget for materials, try doing this exercise using thread and beads to create the binary bracelets instead of paper and pen. You can also provide any combination of two colours in beads to your students, but black and white tend to be easiest, given the way that the key is done.

So, basically it's saying that it's easiest to make these bracelets using black and white beads (rather than combinations of other colours) following the key or guide/indicator

done=set out/explained or how the key/guide is to be followed
