  Step 1

  You're going to want to lay out some parchment paper first to work on.

• 

  Step 2

  while your hot glue gun is warming up, pick out a cabochon that's you'd like to make a mold of.

• 

  Step 3

  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.

• 

  Step 4

  Push you cabochon face-first into the hot glue.

• 

  Step 5

  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.)

Great idea! Moulds can be really expensive.

Dumb question, what do you use the molds for?
I'd like to fill them with melted chocolate, which I guess should work pretty well.
What else do you use them for?

I never thought of using them for chocolate before, I might have to try that! I use them for making polymer clay charms and cabochons

i make these too but they turn out ....blah and oh yea! where did you get those cabochon??

Are you letting the hot glue cool completely before taking the cabochons out? That might be part of the problem, I let mine cool at least 5 minutes. And the cabochons came from Amazon

This is a great idea, but what with plastic cabochons? Wouldn't they melt from the hot glue?

The ones that I used didn't (the flower I used in the example was plastic). But just to be safe, you might not want to let your hot glue gun get super super hot.
