The first way, buy a bunch of eye pins (they have a loop on one end). Put your beads on the pins, then make a loop on the other end. Open each loop, thread the chain on, then close your loops. The second way is pretty much the same thing, except you make your own eye pins by making both loops. The trickiest part is getting the second loop close enough to the bead, so you may want to practice on some junk beads so you don't break your good ones.<br><b>References : </b><br>veteran beader/student jeweler There are two ways you can connect the lengths of chain, and both work on the same principle.
