This is a bit random- but I love how Emmy wears the same clothes in videos; it's very refreshing to see someone who posts consistently having a limited closet just like everyone else. Plus, I like this shirt a lot!

[@janiehill4256]

Actually, I made a couple by accident! I scrunched up 3 kinda large balls of aluminum foil because I didn’t have any dryer balls. A couple of runs through the dryer and they are much smaller, round, hard, and shiny baubles!

[@janiehill4256]

They look just like Emmy’s pre-polished ones.

I did the same. I have a very shiny, but somewhat lopsided, hard aluminum ball. Just from keeping it in my dryer. I also used a pair of wool socks, rolled up in a ball, for a wool dryer ball.

I'm absolutely ecstatic that your senses are coming back Emmy! I'd watch your videos whether or not they're about food, but I know how much you love to eat and how gifted you are at communicating what things taste like, so what a blessing for yourself and for us that your taste is coming back. Meanwhile my crow brain is very satisfied by shiny ball content.

[@emmymade]

Thank you! And so glad you found the process of making a shiny ball as satisfying as I did.

i clicked this to watch foil turned into a ball but now I’m crying over the stuff Emmy said about patience, imperfections, not thinking about how long it takes to finish something etc.

[@scottthomas6202]

Years ago, my grandparents bought a couple old heavily oxidized aluminum measuring cups and pots at a yard sale....they spent winter messing with them, but they were mirror bright when they were done. Looked better than new...as you said, a lot of patience and love went into that...

There's a tool that jewelers, leather & ceramic workers use called a burnisher. It is used to polish metal, leather & ceramics. It is made from a variety of materials such as bone, wood, agate, etc. A commercially available burnisher is made of agate. You can find them at jewelery supply shops & websites.

Way to go girl!! I think it'll be fun to do while watching a movie! Gonna try it. It would fun to have a bowl full of them for decorating! Thanks!

[@nodezsh]

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.

[@dragonfly9821]

This is kinda uncanny. A few days ago, I started polishing some stuff around my house and thought it was very therapeutic, I can spend hours just polishing stuff, making them shine is so satisfying... I thought I was a bit weird for developing that feeling, as it became almost addictive. And now you post that video... I NEED to start making my little ball as soon as possible lol thanks.

[@1nephich1v1]

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

[@sk8rgal360]

Well Van Gogh had his blue period and his time with sunflowers, looks like Emmy is just showing everyone she always has more tricks up her sleeves. Always love the content cause you are always a sweet delight. Remember to care of yourself ❤️

[@teresacortes2759]

You should also try a "sunshine cloth". It helps the metal/metal alloy to combine. It will make a great shine. Good luck!

[@Legoless]

you should make a video trying foods you don't like before your smell comes back fully

[@ditziie]

you could do videos like practicing cake art and piping techniques and just making really creative, pretty looking cakes or something?? and your family could taste test for you! 💗

[@CokeAMor]

Emmy, before your taste comes back, you must try pumpkin puree. I'm not kidding, it's one of the best things you'll ever taste and it'll only be possible right now.

[@_arman_]

Is that because the flavour would be too strong with full range of taste/smell?

[@CokeAMor]

@@_arman_ no, it's absolutely boring and unappetizing normally, but with the covid variant that saps taste, it somehow makes pumpkin puree amazing. It's one of the few things that actually has a taste at all and I'm going to spread this awareness, because it's the only time a person will ever get to taste this. It's also one of the few silver linings to covid.

[@dannysantos1266]
