Hey guys!
I found a cheap and easy way to make silicone molds by using tubes of 100% silicone and dish detergent.

I've also tried oogoo as a mold, which is silicone and cornstarch. It works yet its very tedious and there is a chance your mold may have small holes in it. But either way works if you're short on cash or just feel like using an alternative method.
As for a mother mold, I've used plaster wrap which goes for about $5-$9 for about 4in x 5yds. Its somewhat study and gets the job done nicely but I would recommend layering it with more.
