Would something like this suffice as an adapter to make the macro close up lenses work?

Hi Melissa

Welcome to the forum. That step-up adaptor is exactly what you want.
The depth of field is very shallow with one of the close-up filters. Tripod is probably needed although you can get away with handolding when there is plenty of light ( like in Texas;-)).

AF might be OK.

Watch out for distortion at the edges ... This is a fact of life wit these things unless you buy expensive achromatic versions.

Have fun and post some pics
