    Dear Emmy. I made a similar ball a few years ago when trying to make dryer balls. I scrunched leftover foil into a ball shape and left it in my dryer each time. Sometimes they didn’t do well at all but I have a few balls that are just beautiful. I suppose it is the same principal. The tossing in the clothes dryer imitated the hammer tapping. But is much easier and was fun to find them xxx

      If you really are capable of filling a bowl of these just for decorating, you then have a huge amount of potential being absolutely wasted.
      1: One ball at your desk or beside your bed is fine.
      2: Just buy marbles and pebbles to decorate if you really feel like doing so. It does require an eye for decoration but it will look even better.
      3: Maybe you should learn an instrument instead.

    "Embrace the struggle" ... I had a teacher in high school who I was NOT very fond of... he and I rarely saw eye to eye and I in fact often disobeyed him simply because I didn't like him or his class. Many of my classmates felt the same way, walking into his room felt like walking into boot camp some days. One day a peer of mine shouted "This class sucks!" In the middle of his lesson, to which he looked up, smirked, and said "Well then embrace the suck. Enjoy the suck." Now, in my 20s and studying to become a teacher myself, I smile when I think of him and recite to myself "Embrace the suck" or "enjoy the suck" when life starts to... well... suck! I don't entirely agree with all of his methods, but I think fondly of him now. In his own way, he was making us all better adults and although I have forgotten many of his lessons, I know one of his lessons I will always remember.

It's pretty shiny already so may not need the coarser grit.

    This is beautiful. As a hard laborer though, at 3000 grit I feel like you might as well rub it with your hand, lol. Joking of course, but I've never even thought about 3000 grit. Does it feel almost like it's smooth?

    By the way, to any coin collectors out there-if you have a coin that has numismatic value, don’t polish or clean it. It actually destroys the value of the coin. If the coin has unsightly tarnish, you can have it conserved professionally at NGC or PCGS for a fairly low price.
