The basic overview of what I did using some baby weight black yarn and white yarn along with some red Knitpicks sock yarn:
I did the black and white stripes for about 14 inches, 2 at the top done in ribbing.
When I got to the heel flap I started the red portion of the foot.
The gusset was picked up in red as well but across the instep I knit with the black and white except for 5 stitches on either side. This was the difficult part of the sock was because of that b&w portion. As a novice sock knitter I didn't know how to overcome the problem of having the yarn you need on the wrong side when you knit in the round. I had to carry it across the back so it is quite messy on the inside. A better knitter would have to resolve this issue.
The red part of the instep had the beading. I used the crochet hook method rather than stringing them onto the yarn. This gave a much more uniform appearance. I put the bead on the tip of the crochet hook. I then picked the stitch off the left needle with the hook and slipped the bead onto the yarn. Then I put the stitch back on the left needle and slipped the stitch onto the right needle. I then knit the next stitch.
I beaded every other row and I alternated which stitch had beads so that it looked evenly spaced.
I kept beading the instep of the sock all the way to the end of the toe.
That's basically all I did. It is a very plainly knit sock with some color changes and beads.

I love these socks. The Wizard of Oz is one of my all-time favorite movies too.
