sequence, sequins

Sequence or sequence ( see kwenss ) means order or succession; one thing following another--
These films should be watched in the original sequence, or the story won't make sense.
The accidents seemed to happen in a sequence, one after the other.

Sequins or sequins  ( see quinz ) is the plural ( more than one ) of "sequin", meaning the little shiny metallic decoration, often with a  hole in the center--
She wore a dress covered in red sequins.
If we put sequins on these, they will make nice decorations.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"Make sure to apply these sequins in the same sequence--red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple."
