You don't even need conductive glue, you can just tightly wrap the LED leads with some thin copper wire. Overall this Instructable was a nice simple project for beginners, but you need to add a 470 (Yellow, Violet, Brown) ohm resistor to one of the pins of the LED to the battery, or else your LEDs wont last very long under 9 volts. You may also want to cover you wrapped connections in epoxy to strengthen them. You can find 9 volt battery snaps with wires already on them at RadioShack (Rip off) or online(MUCH cheaper). Hope this helped you out Alvin (or anyone else), and happy building:)
you can do this without solder- there are conductive glues available that should do the trick.

Listen, you are using red LEDs, they are not able to handle nine volts for an extended period of time please, for the sake of the LEDs, put a 470 ohm resistor (Yellow, Violet, Black). Remember, LEDs are supposed to glow the color of the case, unless its water clear.
