I love these molds, they're so easy to make and they work really well! Also, I didn't come up with this idea. I've seen them before on other website, but since there isn't a how-to for them on this website, I thought I'd post it. I did make the ones you're seeing here though ;)

You're going to want to lay out some parchment paper first to work on.
while your hot glue gun is warming up, pick out a cabochon that's you'd like to make a mold of.
squeeze out a goo-sized glob of hot glue, anywhere from half a stick to a couple sticks depending on how big your cabochon is.
Push you cabochon face-first into the hot glue.
Let completely harden, and then pop your cabochon out. Voila! Note: If you're using a thin cabochon BE VERY CAREFUL not to snap the cabochon in half during this step! (sadly, I speak from experience.)
