There are several methods to choose from, here's a video demonstrating one of them.
Pay close attention to safety instructions. This should give you an idea of what is involved, so you can decide if its something that you want to try, or if it would be better to have it done.

Hi guys!
I'd like to make the vias of my board and I think the best method is
electroplating. But, I was looking for some information about it, and
I didn't find something that I can understand.
My question:
How can I make a good vias using electroplating? I was reading and I
have some ideas: clean the copper side of my PCB, use an acid bath,...
But I don't know how many volts and amps to make it, concentrations. ..
is there any good manual step-by-step?
Thanks.
