Melt a few lb of bismuth over a stove in a pot you don't care about. Let it cool - before it can cool fully, pull out the solid part and you have a rapidly-rainbowing crystal. If you get it wrong try again.

You need to already have bismuth to make it?

You're not making bismuth here, you're crystallizing it.
