   1e: you can try to make one of parafine or stearine, the stuff candles are   
   made of.   
   2e: You can also try to make a mould from your mouth peace, from plaster or   
   from silicon rubber f.e. To describe the whole procedure is a long story but   
   there are plenty descriptions on the internet. Cast in that mould a mouth   
   peace from some polyester casting stuff.   
   3e or simply make it from wood, take a mouthpiece of and alp horn as   
   example.   
   Good luck

   The "toy" digeridoo I have, had a slightly flexible plastic mouthpiece   
   that was just like an end-cap with a hole cut about the size £2 coin.   
   Got some pretty good sounds out of it.
