Ryan,
There are various sets of extension tubes for sale at Chambless, and
they're reasonably inexpensive. They do allow you to focus right up
on something, so that the edge of a quarter (for ex.) fills the
frame. They're pretty great fun. One word of caution: make sure to
adjust your exposure to compensate for the extension tubes. They
take a big bite. Here's one place where you can find an explanation
of the exposure compensation you'll need to do:

Good luck!
