Just Google "How to build [insert the project you want to build] with [the technologies you want to use]".
A few examples: -

2. Code along with the tutorial/article you chose.
While you're coding along make sure you take some notes about the steps you need to take to build the project.
You could also write comments. Use whatever works the best for you but make sure you write the steps.

3. After you finished the project delete your code and start from scratch.
Use your notes as guidelines and Google what you don't know.
Use the tutorial only after you've struggled a lot.
Repeat this step until you no longer need the tutorial/article.

4. Add your features to the project

Or just use your creativity.
Build at least 3 features on your own before going to the next step.

5. Build a similar project without any tutorial
You should build a project with similar functionality to the first one.

6. Keep building
After you finished these 5 steps start again with a completely different project.
For example you built a To-do list app now build a Portfolio website.
I would repeat this about 3 times and then go on and learn more.
