As I said in the last step, you can either etch your own board, or use perf board.

I have pictures of the etched board as well as the Eagle CAD pictures of the artwork and layout. I used one jumper (seen in red on the second picture) wire. I could have avoided this and gone with a completely one-sided board but it would have meant running a trace in between pads of and LED. For ease of the etching process I decided one jumper was best.

In case you're wondering, I use the toner transfer method with cupric chloride as my etchant.
