Now, let’s work on the second bead and learn how to link it with the first bead.
Firstly, take a string 22-gauge gold copper wire and make a bend at the one inch mark with a chain nose pliers (fig. 5a, 5b, 5c).
Then, use a round nose pliers to make a small wire loop (fig. 5d, 5e, 5f).
Slip the wire through the wire loop of your first bead and have both the wire loops meet as shown (fig. 5g, 5h).

Secondly, hold your small loop in place with the chain nose pliers (fig. 6a).
Then, make 4 coils with the short wire end to seal your wire loop (fig. 6b, 6c, 6d).
Trim off the excess wire with a wire cutter (fig. 6e, 6f).
After that, flatten the trimmed wire end with the chain nose pliers (fig. 6g, 6h, 6i).
