If you are really pressed for space, another way to do this is to get a small piece of circuit board material, make a cut through the copper cladding (be careful to cut only the cladding, not the whole board!), and then solder SMT 1K resistors to the piece of circuit board so that they "straddle" the cut. Now you can cut away one or two of these soldered resistors on their circuit board piece to use as your dropping resistor(s) for the LED(s).John C.
Russ, you mention SMD (surface mounted device) where I think you meant LED (light emitting diode). Or a SMD LED.
