Hi Lisa,
While both Wendy & Sabini have some really good suggestions, I have another one for you. I actually posted the instructions here a few years ago, I'm guessing that post was archived some time ago. You will need a few things but it shouldn't cost you very much. You will need the following:
-1 pair of nude/beige pantyhose or knee high stockings
-2 white plastic kitchen garbage bags
-1 or 2 ice packs depending on their size and to allow for any mistakes/spills...these are what people freeze and put in their camping coolers...the gel in these packs almost feels like silicone.
-pair of scissors
-small cup or scoop for measuring amount of gel
Here's how:
1) If using pantyhose, cut both legs approximately 8"-10" from the toe so you have a pair of "socks"...with the knee highs you probably don't need to do any cutting.
2) Next, take one of the kitchen bags and put an amount of that ice pack gel (you will have to cut open the ice pack and it should obviously not be frozen!) into the kitchen bag, using the cup or scoop (it can sometimes get a bit messy so try not to get any of that gel anywhere but inside the kitchen bag). Here's the tricky part, you will need to decide how big you want the forms to be which will determine how much gel goes into the bag.
3) Once you think you have the right amount, twist the bag around a few times, but make sure that the kitchen bag is bulging too much...there should be some play in it. Once you've twisted the bag a couple of times, double bag the gel by folding the excess plastic over the original layer of plastic (hopefully this makes sense) and then twisted the now double layered bag a couple of more times and then tie a good knot so that you have a mushy gel bag with the excess plastic from the bag sticking out from the knot. Cut that excess plastic with the scissors as close to the knot without compromising it. The knot has to be tight so that the gel does not leak out. Do exactly the same with the second bag and try to get it as close to the same size as the first bag. It can be a bit tricky so you might want to try using something to measure that with.
4) Once you have your two white kitchen bags you do exactly the same thing with the pantyhose or knee highs. Drop a bag into one of the nylon "socks", twist a couple of times and then fold the excess sock over the first layer so that you now also have two layers of stocking covering the white plastic bag. Twist a few more times and then tie another good knot. Cut the excess stocking again as close to the knot without compromising it. Do exactly the same with the other bag of gel and socking.
5) You should now have yourself a nice set of breast forms that feel pretty close to the real thing :-)
I made a pair of these about 6 years ago and I still have them! They still feel the same as they did when I first made them. I don't use them much any more as I purchased some silicone forms and now use them. Hope this gives you another option. Hopefully my instructions made sense...they are really quite simple to make and wont cost you an arm and a leg! Let us know if you try this method.
Hugs & kisses,
Monika

Janis,
I would just contact the manufacturer/distributor and ask to purchase a single form.before I made things complicated.
