Bone to bone connections occur by way of ligaments, whereas bone to muscle connections occur by way of tendons.
Ligament
Connective tissues are based on fibrous proteins, and include bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and adipose tissue (stores fat). Blood and lymph are generally classified as "fluid connective tissue" although they do not have a fixed structure and are normally constrained by epithelial cells, such as those lining the blood vessels.
Things will not stay together. Muscles will not hold to bones for example.
1. Bony Fusion- bones fused together; no movement (also called synostoses joints)2. Fibrous Joints-immovable joints (synarthroses) that have fibrous connective tissue between the articulating bones; little to no movement3. Cartilaginous Joints- cartilage between the bones4. Synovial Joints- have a joint cavity lined by a synovial membrane
Connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, and cartilege) is involved in connecting muscles to bones, and bones to other bones; it is not involved in the nervous system.
The periosteum is the connective tissue around bones and anchor tendons and ligaments to the bones with the help of Sharpie's Fibers.
Ligaments are the fibrous connective tissue that holds bones in a joint together.

fibrous connective tissue that holds joints together
Different types of joints are held together by different tissues types:Sutures and gomphoses are held together by dense fibrous connective tissue. Synchondroses are held together by hyaline cartilage.Symphyses are held together by fibrocartilage.Diarthroses or synovial joints, the most common type of joints, are held together by ligaments and joint capsules, which are made of dense fibrous connective tissue.
dense fibrous connective tissue
There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.
Ligaments hold your bones together. Ligaments are thick fibrous bands of connective tissue that will hold bones, cartilage or other structures together.

Periosteum
bones
Connective tissue is one which is rich in intercellular substance or interlacing processes with little tendency for the cells to come together in sheets or masses. Ligament is the connective tissue that connect bones to bones .
