After you have your chain seven each with one bead, adjust them so that they are all facing out and do a slip stitch into your first stitch to create a ring. Then chain 11 while keeping your stitch uniformed by pulling it all the way through to the widest point of the crochet hook.
After that, come back down and slip stitch into the same spot you slip stitched to make a chain seven ring. Then fasten it off by pulling it through tightly. Grab the beginning and the end tail and wrap them around at the base of either one of the chains.

Take the French hook and use the pliers to up the hook at the bottom, then slide your ring down then pinch it closed.
