SpongeBob,
DIY enchant
1. You need a decent skill in enchantment (60+) and high INT rating (60+) and plenty of luck or you will fail a lot of times. That my advice, download the "enchant_success.esp" to save you a whole lot of headache. You will still fail though, but you chances of success is increase dramatically with this plug-in.
2. You need a soul gem with a soul trapped inside.
3. You need a thing in to the enchant (armor, weapons are clothes)
4. You need to purchase the spell effect for the enchantment. For example, if you want to enchant a ring that heals, you will need to purchase any healing spells first.

4. You will need to plenty of money to pay up for the enchantment. Depending on the enchantment you want, the price might be quite costly.
Trap a soul in you empty soul gem
1. Each soul gem type have certain capacity, the higher the quality of the soul gem, the higher capacity it has. Higher level monsters will yield higher capacity and hence, they will only go into soul gems of a higher quality (Greater or Grand Soul Gem)
2. You need to purchase a Soul Trap spell or get a weapon with Soul Trap enchantment.
3. Cast soul trap during combat and hack the monster into pieces. if the Soul Trap spell is still active and if you do have the require soul gem to hold the monster's soul, the soul of the creature that you have just killed will be trapped into the soul gem.
How to enchant
DIY method:
1. right click to bring out your inventory window and equip any trapped soul gem. This will activate the enchant window. Select the item to be enchanted and the spell effect. Notice that at the bottom left of the windows there is a little box labelled as "Cast when strike" or "Cast when used". This is the box that determines how the enchantment is used. Obviously for weapons, "Cast when Strike" is a more suitable effect. BTW, only Grand Soul Gem with 80K of Soul will only have the "constant effect" option enabled.
2. Notice that you cost of casting the effect must not exceed your soul gem's total charges or the enchantment will not work. Therefore you can forget about enchanting a 100-100 fire damage with your petty soul gem. Please also take note that each item (weapons, armor or clothes) have its own enchantment capacity. So, if you have a Grand Soul Gem (Golden Saint), you will not be able to enchant 100-100 fire damage because you Imperial Broadsword has only a mere enchantment capacity of 7.
Pay for enchanment:
Almost same as above except that you choose the "enchant" option in the NPC's dialog window. The NPC enchanter will never fail but the he/she will charge you for the enchantment service and they usually don't come cheap.
Hope that helps....
