ok here's a schematic I made to make it easier and also here's a pinout I got online ,
were only going to need pin 1 -2 -3-8-6 the rest we do not need ,
fallow the schematic ,
led + to 3 out
led - to 1 ground
8 to battery
1 ground to battery's ground
2 to touch plate
6 to touch plate
now to make the touch plate take a piece of foil and connect it to the wire ,
solder your wire's to the right connections and your done ,
you can make this anyway you like solder it or use a bread board ,

you can make this anyway you like solder it or use a bread board ,
and now the test run , touch the touch plate that was connected to pin 2 to turn on ,
to turn off touch the touch plate that was connected to pin 6 ,
so there you have it a simple touch switch ,
you can use more leds if you want or try connecting motors or what ever makes you happy ,
Thank you everyone for viewing my project and for giving the new guy a chance ,
and yes I have more project to come soon ,
