I am a bitcoin newbie and I have created a so-called wallet, but I can't seem to find any instructions on how to actually put money into it so I can make bitcoin payments. Can anyone clear this up for me, please?

You can't actually put the money in the wallet you will need to buy Bitcoins first and save it to any trusted wallet.
There are many fake wallets out there that can steal your Bitcoin. So always use a wallet which is well-known. Just like other wallet mention above

Where do you live?

If you are living in India you will need to download the app called Zebpay where you can buy bitcoins.

Or use Coinbase where you can buy bitcoins you can check your location here https://www.coinbase.com/places if your country is supported.

After you bought Bitcoins you can now transfer them to any wallet mention above or if you are using Android phones check these apps below.

- Electrum wallet
- Coinomi wallet
- Mycelium wallet

The only important thing you should do when making a wallet from the apps always saves the seed backup it's a series of words and phrases. Write them on the piece of paper or save it somewhere safe where you can find them easy but privately. Because you can use a seed phrase to recover your wallet in the future once you want to open your wallet to another wallet or if your phone is stolen.
