 Okay, you'll need:

Scissors.
An X-acto knife, or pocket knife.
A foam ball, like the ones sold at craft stores. Whatever size you like.
Hot glue gun, and glue stick.
A few feet of wire, both red and black. (Or other color combinations if you like, just remember which is positive and which is negative.)
A 9v battery, and snap.
Plastic wrap.
A full roll of packing tape.
LEDs, any color and amount you like. (As long as you can power them with a 9v battery, or get a AA battery holder)
Soldering iron, and solder. (Sorry, forgot a picture of these.)
Electrical tape. (Forgot a picture of this too...)
Fine grit sandpaper. (from 320 - 400.)
A snack! (Optional, but I was really hungry while making this.)
