By deciding what you want it to do
If you really dont know what to do, set yourself a simple task that has a practical objective then maybe think about using circuit simulating software (unless you have the hardware voltmeters, oscillascope etc) then buy a soldering iron and make it for real. Oh btw if you are thinking about doing anything that is plugged into the mains do some research first, almost gave myself a free treatment of electric shock therapy the other day ;)

EDIT: probably best to keep away from transformers and large capacitors in general to stat with

what type of circuit are trying to make electronic or electrical there is a difference
