Well the common way in VB is to right-click on a blank area of your ToolBox and select Components or press Ctrl+T. Scroll down until you see Microsoft Common Controls 5.0 (SP2), Comctl32.ocx or Microsoft Common Controls 6.0, Mscomctl.ocx.

This will add a Toolbar to your Form where you can add buttons with icons. You need to add an ImageList to add any icons for the buttons.

Or you can make your own toolbar using the standard Command button and set the Style property of the button to 1 - Graphical then add any picture/icon using the Picture property to the button.
