Using your round-nosed plier, grip the tip of eye pin and bend pin towards yourself.
Turn and bend pin into a loop.
Final result should look like no. 5 in picture above.

Since these are links made from beads, You can use these to build a bracelet, a necklace or a pair of dangling earrings.

Instead of using a chain and adding beads, you make these links and join them together to the desired length and add a clasp to fasten.

There are two ways to join links to one another.

Open one side of the loop by lifting up and hook into the loop of the other bead. Close by pressing down.
Add a tiny ring in-between the two links.
