Can someone explain to me the easiest way to make a metaphor?

Just think of two things that could be compared in an unusual way! A metaphor is just a comparison that doesn't use "like" or "as". For example, a simile would be "My love is like a rose" but a metaphor would be "My love is a rose" If you think of it this way, it might be easiest to think of a simile then take away "like" or "as". Be creative with it and have fun
