    There are loads of instructables/vids on how to do them with basic household ingredients and a few moulding essentials (or you can experiment and make them work without buying mould release etc). Hard to know how to answer - do you want to make 1 or 100? DIY would be the way to go for me.

    I am looking for in and around 10 I say so not a big bulk. Thanks for the reply , I will search some videos and try to avoid the materials to create the moulds. If you have any links to some good demonstration video's ,please do pass them on .Thanks again

    Alginate gel seems to have been used for the moulding process - dentists use this - a friend of mine picked up some really cheap from a dentist as it has a use by date and therefore they could not use it in surgery. Like most things it's cheapest off E-Bay - unless you know someone in the medical supply business.
