✨ Materials you need

🛠 Step-by-step instructions

  1. Coloring Foam Clay:
    Take a golf ball-sized amount of air-dry foam clay, mix in a drop of yellow acrylic paint, and knead it well. If the clay is too dry, add a little water.
  2. Tip: This is a great air-drying clay idea for beginners, as the clay is easy to color.

  3. Shape the macaron halves:
    Divide the clay into two equal pieces, form balls, and flatten them with the acrylic blocks. This creates the two "macaron feet".

  4. Design macaron structure:
    Using a texture tool or pointed tweezers, carefully work in the typical macaron lip. Work quickly, as the clay dries in the air.

  5. Modeling snitch patterns:
    Roll thin "snakes" from clay and place them in semicircles on the macaron halves to represent the decorative lines of the snitch. Secure with wood glue.
  6. Making wings:
    Form two drops from leftover clay, flatten them, and use a needle to scratch fine lines into them so that they look like small wings.
  7. This is a particularly creative air-drying clay idea if you want to create your own shapes.
  8. Incorporate filling:
    Mix Air-Dry Gourmet Clay (Marshmallow version!) or soft clay with water to form a cream, place between the macaron halves and press together lightly.
  9. Decorate:
    If desired, small rhinestones can be placed on the "cream" using wood glue to create a glittering effect.
  10. Paint gold details:
    Once dry, paint the wings with gold paint to perfect the authentic snitch look.
  11. Assembly:
    Attach the wings to the snitch with a piece of wire, insert an eyelet and fix it with jewelry glue.
  12. Finish:
    Connect the eyelet with a short chain and a keyring – and your individual Golden Snitch keyring is ready!
