Where does the capicitors go?

This maybe be a stupid question but where do the capacitors go? I'm still waiting on parts for this project and have been going over the schematics but unsure where the capacitors go.

Hi!
The capacitors are between the positive voltage and GND to protect the circuit from voltage drops and high frequency influences (correct me if I'm wrong)

So in the circuit it's after the battery? From the capacitor it connects to the leds then the tiny85?

OK I got ya! It just looked weird from the schematics just floating at the top.

Yep, both capacitors are parallel to the battery. Pay attention to right polarity of the electrolytic capacitor!
