Ruth, without some serious optical equipment and knowledge making a barlow is not really feasible. The lens is concave rather than convex and the assembly and parameters needed to acheive the correct magnification without distortion is critical.
A 1.25" 2 x Barlow costs only $40 - $50 from an Astro Supplier.
