I Susan and welcome to the forum. Here is a link showing several versions of the basic idea.

You say that you are a beginner, so I shall assume you dont have many tools. Starting with some wire which will pass trough the chain and also the pearls, or using some dreaded eye pins, simply interrupt the chain where required and attach the pearls. You will need some flush cutters some flat pliers and some round pliers to make the second eye.
Alternatively you can use very thin ready made chain which can be threaded through the pearls. You would need to cut off the jump ring at one end, thread the pearls and when they are in position apply a tiny drop of superglue on a needle to fix them.
The problems I foresee are:
1. Holes in pearls might need enlarging. A diamond bead reamer might do that. Find them on line.
2. The chain might need stiffening to thread it through. A little superglue applied with a needle might do that.
3. The end jump ring will need re-attaching. Normally that is done by soldering, but you might find a crimp with an eye to do that. Dennis.
