You may be able to find a used lens. I started out using close-up lenses. They produce acceptable results. Another alternative is using bellows or extension tubes, but calculating the exposure is difficult and I would not recommend them for the beginner. You can get copy lights which attach to the pole of of a copy stand.
Strobes are the easiest and produce the most natural colors.
As an alternative to a copy stand and lights you can try matching goose-neck type lamps which let you put the light at various angles. Outside lighting may cause a problem with shadows unless the day is overcast. Use a cable release, particularly if you are not using flashes, as the slightest movement can ruin your picture. If you are using natural light, you can use your light meter in the camera for proper exposure. When you use flashes, a flash meter is helpful.
