Step 4: Once you start to have enough of the pearls, start connecting them together by using the round nose pliers to open the loop and connect it to the next pearl. Use the chain nose pliers to secure it closed if you have to. Keep repeating this step.

Step 5: Follow step 1 and 2. Basically, you're just doing the same step over and over for the mint beads.
