XOXO, Cameo
This reminds me of when I used to twirl a baton, I would tie ribbons at the end. We even did glow in the dark ribbons and also when we put on shows, we had a black light and the ribbon would glow also.
Oh how fun, my daughters would love glowing batons! We will defiantly have make some, and we just bought a black light for some science experiments we are going to do.
