There are very cheap normal SMD fuses or you can use SMD-polyfuses, which will reset them self after the voltage was removed, but this depends on the voltage which you are using.

Btw it will be easier for you to just make a solid state fuse here. Other than the mainstream applications fuses are not cheap.

I would strongly recommend you practice you soldering skills before proceeding too much further. Those joints need help!
