Bike chain is not #35 chain. the link spacing is different. Maybe you have #35 chain, and just are calling it "bike chain"? Anyways, first you need to make sure just exactly what you have.

Then you can remove the wide links from the ends of the chain, and connect the two narrow links together with the master link. It's kind of hard to explain how to do it with words. You might find an instruction video on youtube.

If you're having some specific problem, it really helps a lot if you can take pictures and post them here, so we can see what's going on.
