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.

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