If the tar-file includes a "spec-file" just do:
rpmbuild -tb filename.tar.gz
...and you'll find the fresh rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/../filename.rpm
If the tarfile includes no spec-file, you have to write one.
If you are experienced in shell-syntax that should be no Problem, if you
not, you should better use the tarfile to install the application.
The spec-file tells rpmbuild where and how everything is supposed to be
installed. If you are not used to shell-syntax it seems to be a long,
hard way to get your first rpm to business!
A spec file for a very small and simple application looks like this:

You can use this spec-file or a spec-file of an application, similar to
the one you want to install, as template.
good luck
