Hi Mari, here's a recipe to make your own silicone mold - https://acraftymix.com/blog/two-ingredient-mold/ We've used it to mold everything from pears and green peppers to wood nymphs for our garden.

  Not being familiar with this type of craft, I am wondering what you are intending to do with the silicone moulds after they are made.
  
  Are you going to fill them with concrete to make pumpkins that can be used for more than one year?
