How Do You AttacBeads To Charm Bracelets?
This Might Be A Silly Question But How Do Add Normal Beads To A Charm Bracelet? I Know You Need One Of Them Link Things But Where Can You Get Them From?
Oh And Sorry For The Typo In The Question
There are various ways but if the bead has a hole that you want to use, you can thread a "head pin" or an "eye pin" (if you want to dangle something from the bottom of the bead too) through the whole from the bottom end, then use "round nose" pliers to create a simple loop at the top end of the bead where the pin is sticking out (see below for diagrams).
Then you can use a "jump ring" (purchased or made) which is a short length of wire which has been formed into a circle to attach the loop you made over the bead to the bracelet. (see diagrams below)
simple loop: http://www.artbeads.com/howtomasilol.html
( or a "wrapped loop" http://www.beadaroo.com/techniques/view.php?technique=wirewraploop&ps_session=ac88e36ed1eda82e4a65dace5fc2490a )
opening and closing a jump ring (usually with two pairs of long nose pliers, or anything that works):

and adding some things onto the jump ring while open:
