Since I craft bronze sculptures, it is a simple thing to mold one in a plaster mold (surrounded by latex caulk), then craft multiples in wax and attach some to a vent on my next sculpture. The mold is reusable until it breaks, but they only take about an hour to make for something small.
There is some investment in the machine shop to clean and polish them up.
