NOTE: Diode terminology is confusing, I'm going to call the end of the diode with the white stripe the negative (-) terminal.

Solder the components together.

STEP 1:
+ Solar
+ Battery
Resistor
+ LED

STEP 2:
PIN 1
- Battery
+ Diode

STEP 3:
PIN 2
- Solar
- Diode
Resistor

STEP 4:
PIN 3
- LED

After you have it soldered together cover the solar panel and make sure the led starts to blink. Tape everything up so the leads don't touch and fold it into a shape that is going to fit inside.
