- i never knew dirt could become so shiny and beautiful!
there's a nice metaphor/lesson about life somewhere in there...
If you're still reading this, thanks for coming along with me on my journey of making a Dorodango! and if you're new here welcome aboard! :)

It's 3 am and im here, sitting, watching a dude rub his ball for 36 hours straight
Lol sounds like an entertaining time
Well was it?@@itsConnorCreates
It's because you are a creative person looking for a soul soothing activity;
🤣😂🤣
🤣😂🤣
What are we waiting for? Let's get an assembly line going. I'll dig.
we'll build a Dorodango empire!! 💰😆
I'll keep an eye on it in the fridge for 12 hrs
I’ll shape the balls
I'm down lol never seen anything like this but sounds lucrative
@@jonasgeez2140Break it down. It works out to $4.30 an hour. Still ready?
I love how he values his wedding dirt like gold
Better than any real gold for sure! 🙌🏻😆
romantic af actually
So do i
@@rosedubiskas4862i agree, its so fucking hartwarming😭
This video has been up for 2 months, and currently has 1.6 million views..
1.6 million people have watched you polish dirt, including myself..
Not bad. Good job man
Haha thanks for the support!
You were right, it's the best dorodango I've ever seen.
It's also the first, but those are minor details.
Haha why thank you! Just don’t ever see another one and it’ll remain the best!
Same for me man, but I'm a pessimist so unfortunately it's the worst dorodango I've ever seen.

Picking the dirt from a special spot was such an excellent idea! Beautiful result!
Thanks! Glad you liked that lil touch 🙌🏻 I couldn’t just use regular/boring dirt haha
I agree, that is such a perfect place to take dirt from and make something out of it. The metaphor of the wedding too, like we wed here now we further make things in here too. Perfect like I have no other words for it, love it truly!
I wish to have such a place to take things from and make this. Sadly all my life I have bad luck following me and wherever I could think of a special place it follows up with bad things that happened there more often then good ... or places where I don't feel like disturbing it at all or take things even things like dirt.
Maybe one day I find a place that doesn't have a curse attached to it ...
Some related story.
Not so long ago, I been little bit "greedy" it seems...
I been in basically middle of nowhere and all this is because my mother's house is old and needs specific roof shingles side pieces that are not being manufactured for more then 60 years and nobody is selling them for years too, we can't afford to replace the entire roof too so I only need to replace those.
So there I was riding my bike on offroads and there is this small foresty type of area in the fields and this house that fell apart maybe 30 years ago or so, I remember it from way back always being abandoned and nobody lived in the area too.
So I mindlessly stopped looking around and luck had it this destroyed abandoned house I ran across that magically had the exact same shingles I needed. I stopped and compulsively started digging them out of the dirt and grass etc and tying them to my bike much as I could. I also had a bag that I could fold out and use it as a cover, so basically no one even could see what I carry at the end.
I go back with the same dirt road all of a sudden an man with his car almost ran me over I turned to the side in the right time otherwise he would legit wanted to hit me and started yelling at me to take those back. I was like take what back?! He knew exactly what I had on me and where I was ... in the middle of nowhere.
If he would not drive a car and almost hit me I would think of him being a ghost ...
We argued a little, I found it odd that a random not that even old man I never seen before starts arguing how I am stealing from "his house" that is basically in the ground for 30+ years and completely abandoned for the same time ...
It was such an odd experience and I felt bad really fast like I was stealing something actually valuable ...
but I even asked tho is he willing to sell me those because I explained it to him that I really needed those, he refused my offers and explanations and ordered me to simply take those back anyway. So I did and never went back there and don't plan to ...
How he knew I was there etc and from where the heck did he appeared from it's still a mystery to me but at least next time I will scout places more carefully even for days ... and especially not dig inside other people's property !
XD
Hope this was a lesson to some so as was for me ...
Don't make your balls from cursed weird places, don't curse yourself and don't curse others ! :D
Cheers , have a good one!
@@itsConnorCreates Ah the classic art form of turd polishing! Dirt is for amateurs and results in far less quality! You want a meat eaters turds they are best quality!
It was a great idea. Now you have a solid memorabilia to keep!
its a stupid pointless FEELINGS idea.. makes no sense. there is no real connection.. humans are so pathetic with thei rfake connections to nothing.
So it was "dorodango" ...
I used to do this technique when I was younger and in spring or autumn on the beach and the forest on the cliffs nearby. We just took a big or two hands full of muddy sand from that area, where the waves disappearing in the sand. We formed a kind of ball with it with twisting while throwing it from left hand to right hand and vv. Every now and then we took a little bit less muddy or just dryer sand from the beach and added it around this ball. We were perfecting the technique of drying the ball with throwing it from hand to hand and grinding and forming it with turning it around and around. At the end, means after about 2h, we were only adding really dry sand or soil and were kind of polishing our sandball while it got perfect spherical and really robust.
We actually were able to roll it over the pathes in the forest or even concrete later. But mostly we had fun with just throwing it down the cliffs and hearing a loud dull bang of the impact.
Everytime nice to know, that those intuitive techniques have a name.
Love it! Thanks for sharing that great memory
I used to dk the same, just a lot more lazy. Got it just hard enough to make a satisfying thud after being hurled into the air
Why am I watching a man turn dirt into a shiny ball at 2 26 A:M
A good use of time in my opinion
@@itsConnorCreates I can agree
Bro just woke up from limbo
@@theunrecorded3997 at least you're learning new stuff instead of stupid shorts that you will forget 5 mins later. I believe learning new stuff is always worth of your time.
@@aronkos3094more Like 5 seconds, this new type of social media isn’t good and very addictive
Okay this is getting crazy. I legit _just_ read the part in one of the Eragon books where a dwarf does this exact practice and i had no clue it was based on something real
Woah! Haha that’s pretty epic you saw this video after! I love fun coincidences like that!
@@itsConnorCreates aye, simulation magic it is
Me too!!! I love Eragon, I’m pretty sure Orik the dwarf called it an Erôthknurl
@@EvasiveShado aye that he did. In inheritance when they're stuck waiting to siege Dras Leona
Same! (Best book series btw)
I used to know some people back in the 1980s who lived in a dirt floored cabin. That floor was swept every day and it was shiny and hard like those dirt balls.
Woah awesome! Ya must be similar process 🙌🏻
Before my dad put gravel in the garage the floor would almost look crystalline
@@RoachDogJr. wouldn't it get ruined if u ever spilled water on it?
@@alf3071 no, you'd think it would but it never did for some reason
@@RoachDogJr. Most likely it was sealed with boiled linseed oil a common sealer for dirt flooring...makes it just about as strong and resistant as tile flooring
I love that you choose to do it the legit way instead of adding wax. Your dorodango is magnificent.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and supporting 😄
Use rice water and it should work faster ❤
@@itsConnorCreates Was it just a damp rag(s) then?
Not gonna lie, after he said I married my wife debbie, I fully expected him to say she died X amount of time later and that he was going to make this from the dirt from her grave. Glad debbie's ok, but still... little disappointed
Thankfully not and her name’s Ally not Debbie 😅
No way 😂. I was thinking the same
I thought he would use the ash of her
Lol
@@fallows4life wth these comments
That's such a a sweet way to preserve a memory. I kinda want to teach this to my kids
You totally should! It’s a good lesson in patience and dedication too haha! 🙌🏻😄
@@itsConnorCreates I know a lot of children in this screen-addicted world that would need that
Just imagined how whole house just filled with polished dirt balls.
@@FreeStatesofKapuska Funny that this attitude towards kids being addicted to things hasn't changed in hundreds or even thousands of years.
Just replace screen (We know you mean phones.) with: Tv, Movies, Plays, Theatre, Books or anything that was the in thing at the time and you can see the same attitude reflected throughout history :D
Them kids addicted to playing with their dirt balls!
@@Unethical.Dodgson You seem to have missed the point by 15 football fields
The ancient Japanese techniques using ancient Japanese microfiber.
They were very advanced back then 😆😅
And the plastic bag

I'm more confused about ancient Japanese Refrigerators, did they run off ancient Japanese electricity?
@@oger5200 Yes. It's called "leave it outside overnight in the winter". Fascinating technique, truly.
You just gave me a childhood flashback to the Mythbusters episode where they did this with lion dung and aluminum foil
Haha love it! Glad it can be a bit nostalgic for ya!
I had a project in like grade seven and it was basically a "make a step by step on anything you want" type thing. Mine was dorodango. One of the tricks I learned that helps with the shine factor without cheating with wax or spray is gently pressing/rubbing it with glass/ceramic ware in addition to a microfiber cloth. Sped it up a ton and it looks way shinier!
Awesome! Thanks for the tip! 🙌🏻
@@itsConnorCreates Please do another one using all of these suggestions from the comments. And, don't give yourself a time limit, but instead just try to make it as mirror-shiny as possible! We will watch, I promise
Hmm...this brings back the memory of my childhood neighbour showing me a way of polishing fingernails. She got a piece of ceramic from a broken jar and pounded it into fine powder with a small rock. Then she applied the powder to her fingernails and used a cloth to polish the nail to a shiny finish.
I made a few of these a couple of years back, I found they smoothed/ polished faster if I used the strainer or a sock to pounce the new layers of dust on, the finer the dirt the better
Thanks :) I'd thought that technique could help.
Okay awesome! Thanks for the tips! 😄
I would think after the first one you’d never want to see dirt again!
@@silvergirl7810 it's actually a very relaxing hobby, if you don't have a time crunch. But I suppose like any art form, it comes down to the person making it and the enjoyment they get from it lol
you're not wrong haha I definitely need a long break from it lol @@silvergirl7810
It’s not crazy that someone would charge 150 bucks for a ball of dirt.
It’s crazy that someone would pay $150 for a ball of dirt.
Haha true, good point! 😅
I mean it's 30 hours of labor, looks good enough to be collectible, plus shipping costs, artistic value etc. Then if you consider it can be dirt from specific places or formations it'd have all kinds of crazy added value.
I don't think it's that crazy.
True
Should someone tell him that people pay 5.99 or more for water, which is literally free from any where in the world@@frankenstein6677
@@frankenstein6677 the result is actually really pretty too... but my take away is that the process of making it seems very therapeutic in itself while also being fairly easy (if time consuming). $150, or spend a weekend doing it yourself
I love turning moldable materials into spheres
😅🙌🏻
This project fascinated me way too much. Thank goodness we have TH-cam, because without you making this video this is the kind of insane nuttery I would have tried myself.
Haha well said! Thanks for watching and for the support 😄🙌🏻
When I was in first or second grade, I accidentally discovered making cob by doing a similar process. Found some really smooth, clay-rich soil, got a little grit from the running track, sand from the sandbox, a bit of fine plant fiber from the field, and water from the drinking fountain. When I was finished making one, I would wrap it in damp paper towels and bury it in the leaf litter in a little clearing of trees by one of the buildings until next recess. I called them "muddies," and I taught my friends how to make their own :) until this one girl saw me making one and told me I wasn't allowed to in a really mean tone. I legit cried for like 2 hours because my sweet, precious baby autistic brain could not possibly comprehend why anyone wouldn't want to make a nice mud ball, or why someone would go out of their way to stop me from making one when it had nothing to do with them. I didn't make any more after that because I was afraid she would tell on me and I'd get in trouble.
Anyway, fast forward a decade, I was revisiting where I grew up and was walking through my old school while it was empty and I remembered making them. I went to that same clearing and dug around in the leaf litter a bit, and the mud balls I made were STILL there wrapped in the paper towels, hard as a rock. I couldn't believe they kept their shape after all that time! I buried them under the leaves again and went on my way, but I think of it from time to time. If I ever go back to my hometown, I think I'll stop by again while school is out to see if they're still there after 20 years. Probably not, but who knows? :)
Woah! Love that story, thanks for sharing! Glad this brought back that special memory
This is one of the most wholesome comments I have ever read.
If I was the girl that saw you making those cob balls, I would have rolled up my sleeves and joined ya! Some NTs can be so boring and unimaginative 😝
Btw, you should consider doing it again, even filming the process (I’d love to learn). I wonder if you can make them creature shaped - like little blobs or whatever - and scatter them around parks and woods etc. Makes me think of how during the lockdowns people would leave little painted rocks or wooden spoons in random places for others to find and feel happier. I can imagine people coming across little cob creatures on their bush adventures and be super delighted, esp kids. I think I’m gonna try do something like that for my kids. The world feels so devoid of magic sometimes, especially when things seem to keep going wrong and all that gets accumulated is trauma instead of magical memories.
I’m glad I came across your story. Thanks for sharing it. It felt really nostalgic eventhough it wasn’t my story. Reminds me of the quirky, harmless, pretty adorable but socially shunned activities I used to do as an undiagnosed Autistic kid. Those were the best moments - where our creative imagination met our intelligent curiosity, before someone shat on it with their irrelevant and inconsiderate judgement.
Intense. Good story, I feel ya.
He had to use the special dirt so that his wife wouldn't get so mad about using the strainer. ;)
Great video. It would be a fun/satisfying project for anyone and a good lesson for kids.
Haha so true lol she watched the video for the first time the other day and realized I used the strainer! 😆😅
Thanks for watching and supporting! Much appreciated!
Taking mud pies to a whole new level! There’s no way kids of today could even get past the first step
@@itsConnorCreates You have to buy her a new strainer on your birthday.
yup haha true, good idea@@Gabi-Alex
The ancient japanese did this as a symbol. A symbol of patience and hard work. With hard work even a pile of dirt can become a shiny gem. Now you have proved that you are capable of great patience and hard work and that you dont give up.
Amazing! Love that. Thanks for the info 🙌🏻
It's midnight and I'm watching one of the most wholesome dudes ever make a ball out of dirt...
Incredible
Aaayy thank you! Appreciate you watching and supporting 😄🙌🏻
He even saved that hapless worm!😊
The process is essentially just burnishing the clay particles in the dirt. Its faster to burnish a clay ball when its leather hard with a smooth stone or spoon.
I’m not too familiar with that burnishing word but I like it! Thanks for teaching me something new!
I find a brass or stainless steel hex nut or washer works surprisingly well. It works for a spherical surface for the same reasons that a jar or bottle does.
I would never have thought you could get soil to be that shiny without firing it...fascinating stuff
Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching/supporting 😄🙌🏻
It's also possible to make pottery bowls and plates with the same method, without firing them.
Bro I actually love this guy his so chill. He didn’t rush the process but kept his patience
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and for the support 😄🙌🏻

“Happy anniversary babe. I got you a ball of dirt”😂

Dido.
could have been worse, a pooball, I think that is also a thing
“its not just any dirt, its the dirt we stood on when we said our vows!”
“…so, the dirt from our backyard?” 💀💀
That was EXACTLY what I thought, and am going to do it!!! We got married on some friends property, and I'm going to use some dirt from where we stood to make a dorodango to commemorate our marriage last September.
I did this when younger! Im curious how this would hold up to ship because i remember mine being hard but quite fragile. This video turned out wonderful and thank you for the reminder of this, im going to be doing the same with soil from where my husband and I were married :)
nice! I had never heard of it until recently! ya it is quite firm/hard but definitely seems fragile. I was scared I was gonna accidentally drop it haha!
thanks for watching and the support! lemme know how yours turns out when you do it, would love to see
@@itsConnorCreates The composition of the dirt you pick is essential, as well as the drying process (I'm guessing drying it in a plastic bag keeps the moisture somewhat stable and keeps it from cracking early on, but I don't know how it affects the dorodurability)
I also did this when i was younger with a little bit of clay
This is a great gift Idea. Specially for a wedding anniversary. Using the very dirt you got married on as a keep sake. You could even hide something inside that means something to you that could pass down to your children that they could use for their wedding. Starting off a family tradition.
Ya true dat! Oohh good idea!
did anyone else think he was gonna go did his grandmas ashes up
That woulda been a plot twist
💀💀💀
I thought he was going to dig his wifes ashes up
@@itsConnorCreates it would be really big plot twist😊
Could this be done with ashes? Asking for a friend…
You can use a butter knife handle, the back of a spoon or a smooth rock to polish it. It compacts the surface.
Sweet thanks for the tips! 🙌🏻
@@itsConnorCreates No problem!
How do you do that for all 3 of those methods? I don't understand how u can make one with a spoon or rock or even a butter knife handle lol
@@coolskeleton9560 You have three balls? Thats incredible. I know some people with two balls or one ball but three balls??
Funny story. I made these Duradungo balls several years back. I was pretty proud of myself. Long story short, (I dont have the sense of smell anymore) a family member stopped over and said whats that smell, ewwww.
Unknowingly I dug dirt where cats had pee'd and my Duradungo balls smelled like a litter box. Haven't tried to craft them since.
Dang haha that is quite the story! 😂 sorry you had a rough experience with that!
So you really put the dung in Dura-dung-o, huh?
Them dango durodungo balls dun up with real dung dun turned to dingles right in your hand. Damn
You showed up in my feed today. I had no idea dirt polishing could be so interesting! Part way through, I thought to myself, this guy has to be Canadian...sure enough! Subscribed. Hey from B.C.
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out and I appreciate the support from another fellow BC resident! 😄🙌🏻
my dad has been learning about dorodango (as a way to utilize a bunch of left over clay from our backyard soil after a yard renevation). It's so fun to see him excited about polishing and experimenting with methods, so now everyone in the family gets a dorodongo for christmas

Great video, thank you. I played in the dirt when I was a kid for free, 'NOW' I learn I could have been making money doing it!! I've got to be a kid again.
Thanks! I appreciate you watching and commenting :) and yes so true haha!
This made me remember that one website I kept looking at to make a shiny dirt ball but never did
Maybe this is your sign to finally make one then!
I made one over the course of a few days back when I was a teen. I showed my father because I was proud of how cool it looked. He immediately crushed it in his hand and then told me it was just a waste of time.
Aaaww dang! Sorry to bring back that harsh memory 😅
If your Dad's still alive & he shows you his hospital bill for a future operation, screw the bill up in his face & say it's a waste of time. What goes around comes around.
Good idea choosing some from a memorable area! Thats an unreal & cool process! Turned out amazing! Love the way you produce your content bro 🙌🌲
Thanks so much!! Always appreciate your support and kind words 😄🙌🏻
Can I just say, I am sitting in Germany, watching a Canadian guy trying an ancient Japanese technique. I probably had the recommendation cause I have been learning Japanese for a while - online. Amazing times we live in. Thanks for the video!

I’ve made 6 of them so far.
All of them from memorable events.
It takes me about 2 full days to make one.
I’d never sell one, but if I did, it would be worth way more than 80 bucks. Lol

@@silasfoulon It's a great one 😁👍 Silas means "the one hoped/prayed for", thats why my parents named me it after having two miscarriages 😊🙌
@@silasmetzger1377 oh wauw, what a deep meaning, I didn't know that, I thought that in latin it means wood or forest or something like that 👍
@@silasfoulon This too, but the original heritage is from Aramaic, the Language that Jesus spoke too :)
This just blew my mind. The Japanese are Artisans by their very Soul. This is an insanely deep Spiritual endeavor that literally anyone can do.
This practice is a physical manifestation of Zen/Meditation.
"Before Enlightenment, Chop Wood and Carry Water.
After Enlightenment, Chop Wood and Carry Water."
In other words, just keep polishing your dirt ball (working on your Human self, Man was made from Clay by God, etc.), even if it takes 3100 hours, and at the end you will have a masterpiece in your hands.
It is so beautiful in its simplicity. Literally showing how "The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You".
Thank you for sharing this practice with the world of people who were previously unaware of its existence. ❤🌎
Love it!! Thanks for sharing all that, really well said! 🙌🏻

So true well said
Awesome video me and my dad are now gonna try to make one this summer! Thank you for the inspiration!😊
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and supporting 😄 hope you guys enjoy making it! It’s a fun project
As someone who works in the field of ceramics, you basically made a clay. Just the dirt/crushed rock + water makes a clay, though in order for it to become a clay body you'd need to make it a mixture of 50% clay, 25% silica, and 25% Feldspar. This will allow a chemical reaction to take place where the silica melts and you get a vitreous thing. I see a lot of crossovers in the process here and making clay bodies
Okay awesome, thanks for the info!
