    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.

    "All it is is a ball of clay that has been loved a great deal." I didnt think that i'd be able to suddenly feel emotional attachment to a ball of clay.

    this is a cute video and it made me happy. i’ve been really stressed and all the media that’s been recommended to me has been negative so it’s really nice to come across your videos
