You should read qt documentation. Documentation is quite good, so there's no excuse for not reading it.

You can create your own widgets by subclassing QWidget or existing QWidget subclasses, (e.g., QFrame)

Honestly, at this stage, though, I recommend familiarizing yourself with how Qt works before trying to create entirely new widgets. There are several books about Qt, my favorite of which is this one, which, among other things, shows you how to create your own widgets.
