Baton Bead Charms

I had so much fun recreating twirling batons from my childhood into bead charms!  The 30mm twisted bugle beads are what first gave me the idea.  To me, it looked just like the twisted aluminum baton handles from the batons I had as a child.  My batons also had large white rubber caps on the ends.  The bell flower beads were a perfect representation of those.  I'm so happy with the way they turned out.  It really takes me back...  I can just picture myself at about 8 years old, in my old front yard, dancing and twirling to the music on my cassette boom box. 😊
