Since you don’t have photoshop, you can try alternative graphic editors, such as paint.NET, Artweaver, or GIMP.
However, if you google for button generators or glass button generators, you’ll come up with a few hits of web services that will generate a button graphic with a few mouse clicks.

Sorry, I don’t have any personal recommendations beyond that. Not all generators are created alike–some focus on various aspects of a look and feel, so you’ll have to try a few out and see if you like the results.
The free alternatives to Photoshop aren’t as feature rich, but still useful once you learn them (GIMP is a good one… it’s very unfamiliar to Photoshop users, but if you aren’t one already, it’s just something new to learn).
