Soldering onto both sides of a circuit board?

[Chameleoki]

Say I wanted to use both sides of a circuit board. I have a 7-Segment LED on one and on the other an IC (not directly behind each other) so each component's pins were on opposite sides of the board. How would I connect the two?

The only thing I can think of is a solid wire going in a hole between them that they both can solder to and thus connect to each other. Is there a better way?

Can you give some more information? Like did you etch the board yourself? Is it single- or double-clad (it sounds like double)? Or did you send it out to be fabbed (a la batchpcb)?

You can solder to the top of the IC pins that are exposed on the same side as the LED pins. I would suggest 30-36 gauge wire-wrap wire.
