You can actually try using a magnifying glass in front of your lens to get closeups,the close up lens sets sold for 35mm photography that screw in to the filter spot on the end of the lens are basically just these...won't be alot better but hey, worth a try. Also if you are using a camera with a removable lens (like a 35mm SLR) you can take the lens off and turn it around backward and hold it up against the camera body with the aperature opened up all the way for closeup,...or use some type of tube(they are sold in sets and called "extension tubes") to move the lens further away from the film-plane to get closeups.
