⚠️ Important Tip
For the best finish, polish your Dorodango again the next morning after it has fully dried.
Overnight, moisture from inside the ball may rise to the surface and cause cloudiness.
Use a cup lightly coated with olive oil to gently polish it again in the morning—
this final step creates a longer-lasting, radiant shine ✨



🌱 The Complete Guide to Making a Dorodango with Garden Soil 🌱
This video might become one of the most-watched tutorials on making Dorodango from garden soil.
I’ve packed it with all the techniques and fine-tuned adjustments I’ve developed through trial and error—
it’s truly premium-level content.

The method I share is entirely original, designed to help you achieve a beautiful shine as efficiently as possible.

You don’t need to grind the soil with a blender or machine.
Instead, we gently crush and polish the particles on the surface,
drawing out the clay’s natural properties and allowing the soil’s unique character to shine through.
This method honors the individuality of your garden soil, revealing one-of-a-kind patterns and a gem-like glow.

No special materials are required—
just harness the full potential of simple, natural elements.
That’s the essence of Dorodango.

Make many, enjoy the process, and don’t forget to save this video so you can revisit it anytime 😊
