well long story short bought an ugly sweater and would like to wire up leds to it. i googled how to wire them but just scratch my head in confusion. so heres my idea and if someone could point me in the right direction i will be grateful.

i am looking to wire 15 leds. 5 white, 5 red and 5 green. not really sure on battery pack as it will probly depend on how its wired. i was looking to use the leds listed below in red,white and green. i want them to blink.

any input would help!!!

Enter what you want to power it with and then you can get an idea what you need for resistors. 9v battery should power 15 LEDs in a circuit for a couple hours.
