To make a mold for a miniature bell, you can either work from a bell you have sculpted, or make a mold from an object which has a bell shape in a size you can use. To make miniature bells, I used a mold made from the top of a tube of ceramic glue, which had a long bell shape, and also a mold made from a golf tee. I've shown the steps for making the golf tee mold here, as the glue top, like any bell shape you want to use, only had to be pressed into the mold compound with the widest end of the master original facing out.
The golf tee required a slightly different technique as I wanted to leave the master shape (the tee) intact and not cut it down to a bell.
To make the bell mold from something which is attached to a larger original, or which has a bell only as part of the shape, you can use this technique. Begin by mixing sufficient two part silicone mold putty to cover the bell section of your original. Make sure you leave the opening of the bell to be the bottom opening of the one piece mold. The widest part of the original has to be at the open end of the mold.
