There are pre-made molds sold for using with resin and there are also things you can find around the house to use as molds, as well as other materials to buy to make your own molds.
The most common material to use is HDPE plastic (like Tupperware and many ice cube trays, etc), and silicone can be used too.
Check out this previous answer I wrote to a similar question for more details:

…select the type of resin you want to use (though there’s maybe more info in the Epoxy Resin category)
