I polished these Japanese foil balls using sandpaper until it becomes a solid metal polished ball, then I polish it using metal polishing liquid.

These polished foil balls started with a Japanese jeweler who made one that appeared to have no purpose, but the nation became obsessed with it and everyone started making them!
