After you solder the wires on the motor and taped the aluminum foil tape on the spool, it is now time to install the LED's on the spool...
Cut out two pieces of 3X12 veroboard from a big piece of veroboard using the dremel tool or other cutting tools.
Solder LED's, resistors, wires, and cut track like in this diagram below, and watch out for the polarity of the LED's!
Once you have done all of the soldering, glue the veroboard with LED's onto the spool, and make sure you glue the veroboard with LED's and wires very well onto the spool otherwise thing may go flying straight off the spool and hit other things or people if they are close the device.
