There are various ways to bind off, but I'll share the way that I think is easiest. Once you have finished knitting your last row what you want to do is knit two stitches and pass the first stitch you knit over the second and off the needle. You'll continue doing this until you have bound off all but one stitch; you'll then cut the yarn and pass it through the last stitch. Good luck with finishing your project.

There are several ways to bind off. You can knit 2, slip the first stitch over the second, and then you continue by knitting one stitch and slipping the previous one over. You can also knit 2 together and then put the resulting stitch back on the left needle and continue kntting 2 together. As someone else said above, http://knittinghelp.com has a variety of videos for binding off, as well as many other techniques.

I learned how to knit from a book... and whenever I got stuck on something, I turned to this site: http://www.knittinghelp.com/
They have EXCELLENT videos to show you how to do various knitting stitches, including how to bind off.

Look up "binding off" since this is the official name for finishing.
