Simple...couple nuts, a biner, and a clove hitch.
You must be on crack. What I've learned so far from this thread: no clove hitches and no figure 8's in a belay. Wait. Tying in with the rope is primitive. Death is imminent. You'll have to try again.

If you can't figure out how to tie knots n a rope and attach them to carabinered anchors, don't.
Few things in climbing are as straight forward as that.

I can't seem how somebody can manage to tie their rope to their harness, and yet would be baffled at how to tie a knot or knots in the same rope at an anchor.

What's next here?
How do I shut a carabiner gate after I open it???
I want to start out on the right foot. Is that always the *right* foot, or is it sometimes the *left* foot???
How do I know what end of the rope to tie into?
What if my partner has already called dibs on that end?
Where can I buy a three-ended rope so I can climb with two other people???

Sorry to bring this up again around here.
I realize this subject is very emotional for some of you.
This thread was linked over at Mountain Project http://www.mountainproject.com/v/building-an-anchor-with-climbing-rope/107482016 asking pretty much the same thing as you did. Several people have posted a few examples of some different methods that might work for you. Some of them might not work so well.
I'm curious what sayeth the taco?

After this round of talks, I'm apt to try rgold's rig now. Seems to have gotten simpler to me.
I successfully used the rope only last month - topping out on Right On, I just slung a big boulder, adjusted the length and got comfy to bring up my second. As I led all the pitches, I just used slings at the other belays (two bolted, one gear).
