If you here because you are an awesome human being who has a tree to solder then look no further then the instructions below.
Instructions
Step 1. Confirm Kit Contents
You should have:
15x Bi-Directional LEDs
6x 100 Ohm Resistors (Brown-Black-Brown-Gold)
1x Momentary Switch
1x Battery Clip
1x 3V 2032 Coin Cell

DIY Kit Contents
Step 2. Remove Resistors From Tape
Step 3. Bend Resistor Leads 90 Degrees
Make the bend as close to the body of the resistor as possible.
Step 4. Insert Resistors Into PCB

Step 7. Repeat Above Steps With LEDs
These LEDs are bi-directional and very forgiving, but if you'd like to ensure proper orientation of all your LEDs, place the LEDs such that their longer lead goes into the square holes.

Step 9. Solder Components
Step 10. Solder Battery Clip
Step 11. Insert Battery
When the battery is first inserted, the device will run a test pattern to ensure all LEDs are working properly. When finished, the tree will enter into one of its pre-programmed patterns.
Operation:
Press the button to interrupt a pattern and turn the device off. When the device is off, you can select a pattern to display by pressing the button repeatedly.
All done!
