      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.

    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

    Who needs food when we have Emmy to keep us entertained? I hadn’t seen this done before? Pretty cool 😎

    I might have to make a ball for our cats. This was a very fun video; I'm looking forward to watching the clay one. Hope your sense of smell returns soon! 🥂 🥂, to your health!

      I just have 13 cats. I make foil balls and toilet paper cigarettes and bobbypin and hair ties whatever...

    This was fun! I'm always down for chicken and garden videos too. 😁

    Our cat's favourite toy.....a foil ball !! I also have one I throw in my dryer instead of fabric softener sheets to remove static !

    I love the notion that the most mundane, unremarkable thing can become exceptional, with enough love, focus & dedication. 😊 (Also- yay for the wolf t-shirt- it's one of my favorite 'Emmy t-shirts'!) 😍

    What a great idea. and a wonderful way to remember how to be/ teach patience, perseverance and moxie.. thanks for sharing the process. if I remember right Adam Savage made one and then another channel that cuts things up with a water stream or a laser cut it in half. it was quite fascinating to see what the inside looked like. Blessings.
