The LEDs might be backwards or you could have heated them up too much.

Check for short circuits.
Make sure that you're using the right value resistors (if there are any)
Check to see if the + and - are OK on the LED

practice soldering on old circuit boards first and when you finally get comfortable you're ready to move on just give it another try.
