Try an Extension Tube (not the same thing as a Tele-extender). There are no optics in the Extension Tube. It is used to allow a lens to focus closer than it does natively. This is accomplished by moving the lens farther away from the camera body's film plane or digital sensor by fitting between the camera body and the lens. The end result of focusing closer is a larger magnification. Both Canon and Nikon offer them in their product line. This is less money than purchasing a new macro lens.
