This is how to make fake / decorative paper Macarons. I layed a white
paper square
on a colored paper and folded the Macaron out of this selfmade paper.
I made my macarons in four different colors: Yellow, blue, purple and
pink.
Step 1: Use
papers of about 15x15 centimeters and colored on one side.
Or you can use papers which are colored on both sides and lay
another complete white paper on each colored one.
Prefold in half, then fold both edges just a little off the
centerline, see next photo.
Step 6: Fold
this spot downwards, use the prefolded lines as guidance.
Step 5: Glue
the left edge to the right edge, see arrow.
Step 2: Fold
over this line.
Step 4: Make
two pleats by folding over these four lines.
Step 3: This
is the other side of the model.
Prefold in half, then prefold both halfs in three parts of the same
size.
Turn the model again afterwards.
Step 10: Press
the bottom flat and open it again.
Step 8: Repeat
step 6 four more times, see pink arrows.
Step 9: Turn
the model.
Step 7: Repeat
step 6 with this spot.

Step 12: And
close the other side again, use glue if necessary, see marked area
and pink arrow as example.
Step 11: Repeat
steps 6 to 10 on the other side, without opening it up again.
Use glue if necessary.
DONE!
