I love macaroons because they're so pretty and colourful. I always feel bad eating them because they're so cute, so I thought I'd make a keyring of them.

You Will Need

• Fimo in two similar colours
• Keyring
• Charm Loop
• Rhinestone(s)
• Charm(s)
• Toothbrush
• Tweezers

1. 1
   Grab a clump of Fimo and roll in to a ball.
2. 2
   Flatten out in to a round lump.
3. 3
   Press the edges against a surface so they go flat.
4. 4
   Flatten on the top so it has the shape of a macaroon.
5. 5
   Make another matching the first half.
6. 6
   Use a toothbrush to stipple the edges.
7. 7
   Take a pair of tweezers to press down the edges, creating a rough ridge.
8. 8
   Your two halves should now look like freshly baked macaroons - flat on top but rough around the edges.
9. 9
   Roll out a flat circle of Fimo in a contrasting colour for your filling.
10. 10
    Place the filling on top of one half... it shouldn't look to perfect.
11. 11
    Place the second half on top.
12. 12
    Inset a charm loop and bake in an oven for half an hour until hard.
13. 13
    Attach a keyring to the charm loop and glue on some Swarovski crystals for sprinkles.
14. 14
    Attach a few other charms and you're all done!
