[OM] Ways to go macro

If I've got a Zuiko 50mm lens and I want to do macro photography without
spending half a year's wages on a proper macro lens, what is the best
way to go?  As far as I am aware, I can get extension tubes, lenses or a
reversing ring, but what are the pros and cons of each?

Also (and this may horrify some of you, so don't read on if you're a
sensitive soul) I have a 3x teleconverter which I bought very cheaply a
couple of years ago and never use (it's not very good).  I had the crazy
thought that if I smash out the insides it would be an extension tube. 
Is this a totally insane idea?  If I've lost everyone's respect entirely
then I apologise...

Roger
