Bokeh usually works best when taking an up close picture of your subject, try finding a subject with nice clear lighting that you are able to get a good close up of.
Slightly unfocus your lens so that the image is now softly blurred. The image background will be significantly blurred, but try keeping the foreground image, your subject, recognizable.
Set your exposure time according to the amount of light present.
Now set your aperture to a lower f-stop number so that the aperture is opened wider. Having the aperture on a wide setting will help keep the picture in soft focus.
Look into your viewfinder and inspect the frame for any sharp lines or clear details in the background, this is not wanted in a Bokeh picture.
Now take your pictures.
