I will show you how to make a LED circuit that make LED flash at different intervals depending on the capacitor size.

Materials

What you will need:
-Soldering iron
-Solder
-Wire
-2 1kilo-ohm resistor
-1 110 ohm resistor
-1 10 to 1000 uf capacitor
-Perf board
-1 or more LED's
-1 555 timer
-1 9volt battery clip
-1 9volt battery

Scematics

Here are schematics the red in the color one is for positive.
You can put a capacitor of diferent sizes depending on how fast you wan it to flash.
Ex:A 10 uf cap will flash really fast but a 1000 realy slow,I would suggest a 330 uf cap.

Please don't hate it was done in paint.
P.S. It's 10 to 1000 uf capacitor.

Now that you done soldering the component on the perf board your circuit should resemble like this one.
