Cut the LEDs from the tape and place the first 30 into the front row. Make sure that the flat side of the LED is aligned with the flat side of the LED shown on the board. Otherwise the LED will not light up. This is a pretty common mistake so work slowly and carefully.

When you place each LED, bend the leads out so that it wont fall out when you turn the board over.

Solder the LEDs and clip the leads, either one at a time or all at once, whichever is easiest for you.

After one side of the board is done, repeat for the other row of LEDs
