Variation:
I used 5 beads on a single rubber band (figure 1).
I created 3 such connected models using the following steps.
Joining them:
1. Create a knot as shown in the figure.
2. Tighten the knot.
3. Now insert beads like before.
4. Join the open end using a paper clip using the procedure followed before.
If tying the knot looks difficult, you can just create 2 such models and connect the rubber bands using the paperclips.
