First, take the sandpaper and scratch the negative side of the batery until it is very rough. The solder will stick better like that. Then warm up your soldering iron and solder the negative LED lead to the negative side of the coin cell. The negative lead is the short one. Then, bend the positive lead up 45 degrees so when you press it, it turns on.
