A while ago, we made macaron christmas ornaments. It was lots of fun!
We followed this tutorial, but we did make some changes. Instead of spray paint, we used sharpies, which worked very well. Instead of string, we used thread, which we had to hot glue to the inside to make sure it didn't slip out. Also, we used finer glitter, which worked but took longer and invoked more dabbing in the pile of glitter. Overall, I think the macaroons turned out very well.
