Apollo you could look at things that represent the sun, Artemis things that represent the moon. Hephaestus is the God of blacksmiths so use things that are associated with that.
I gave you a suggestion for a simple ritual for Aphrodite because it was she you said you were the most interested in. It is a good idea to research and design your own rituals, they mean more that way, I hope this helps you to get started, you can find everything you need to know on the internet.

What represents the Sun to you? What represents the Moon to you? What about blacksmithing? Building a personal relationship with a God/Goddess should be just that, personal, which means you have to think about it and design something sincere and from your heart
Depending on how much you are wanting to spend for specific Items. Even stones like Sunstone could represent Apollo, Artemis was also the Goddess of the hunt so a very small bow and arrow or you could make one with small twigs and strings or even Moonstone. The God of blacksmith a small piece of iron. Each smybol could match with a candle on your alter. Or which ever one you are working with at the time. Artemis I would use a silver candle, Apollo yellow. You could also carve into the candles their symbols. Working with different gods and goddesses is very personal and suggest going with what your instincts tell you.

Well, I searched about Apollo. I found that other than sun, it can be done by making poems, writing, singing, knowing any form of divination. So I guess I got the idea.

Hephaestus is probably more interested in your willingness to learn basics crafts and will then be more willing to make some form or fashion of contact with you.
There is no EXACT thing, what represents something for one may not for another. Have you done research at all via internet. I understand not buying books, but you obviously have internet and can research on your own. If you can not be satisfied with an A+ answer perhaps you should gain knowledge by reading articles, other threads, or other internet resources available vs continual demanding. Hope this helps and hope you find the answer your searching for soon
For Artemis, she is also goddess of the hunt, a small deer statue to represent her, white or green candles. Apollo is harder, red, orange or yellow candles. he is the god of many things, poetry, medicine, the Oracle, the sun and archery.
