Rock Climbing anchors don't have to be complicated. Here are the 3 anchors you should know for building anchors on 2 bolts:
1. Pre-Equalized
2. The Quad
3. Two Quickdraws

Principles to apply to your anchors:
a. Redundancy - requires more than one failure for the system to completely fail
b. Distribute the Load - divide up the force of the anchor onto the various components
c. Limit the Extension - avoid configurations where a failure would create a "shock load"
d. Angle of Legs - the angle of the legs of an anchor should generally be less than 60 degrees to limit force vectoring
