First off, you read the instructions...thank the maker! You are several steps ahead of the game just because of this :thumbsup:
Now, to make a custom item really depends on what exactly you had in mind (armor, lightsaber, mask, etc.)...
Priority #1 go here:

Loads of tutorials for most, if not all, of you're modding needs.
Priority #2, as Darkkender's most wise words: KT stands for KOTOR Tool by Fred Tetra. Without a doubt this should be at the top of your list for modding as it handles the 2da editing and gff editing functions and a whole lot more.You should check here as well:

for other tools that may be necessary. In particular, a secondary GFF editor to handle the rare exceptions that KT can't handle. I like Roboius' Modified Bioware GFF Editor...but to each their own :)
Also invest some DL time for tk102's Save Game Editor and Darth333's Warping Armband. These tools are immensely helpful for testing your mods and/or items
Priority #3, Don't hesitate to ask questions and use the search function if you get stuck. There's way too many helpful people here to 'bypass' just to avoid seeming like a modder 'newb'. Plus you never know when your questions can help other modders as well....
ChAiNz.2da = Forever Newb ;) hehe
Priority #4 HAVE FUN!! There is no exception to this rule ;)
Hope this helps!
