place the holes, for my beads I spaced the holes 1/2" apart. Then I took a piece of painters tape and folded it into a 1/2" piece and used that as my spacer. I marked where I needed beads would be hung with a pencil all the way around and then took a needle and pierced the shade. Once that was done I simply threaded the wires through the holes and wrapped them once before cutting the excess with wire cutters close to the shade.

And there you have it! Now I have to do sconces for the bedsides! ;)
