Found a website that tells you how to make your own set.
http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_6699234_build-chess-set-scratch.html
You need something called Sculpey Clay
Creating the Game Pieces
Using the Sculpey clay and a picture of a chess set as your inspiration, create
16 pawns, 4 rooks, 4 bishops, 4 knights, 2 kings, and 2 queens.
Try to make the matching pieces look identical.
Place the game pieces on a flat cookie tray and put them in a 275-degree
oven for 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness. So, if your queens are 1/2 inch
thick, they'll need to bake for half an hour. When they've finished baking,
they'll need to cool for a few hours. They should be hard to the touch.
Paint half of your pieces (8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 1 king, and
1queen) a color of your choice.
Paint the other half of your pieces a different color.
Allow the paint to dry and then give the pieces a coat with the clear spray paint.
Well that sounds easy enough. A piece of cake.
