I am not sure where this idea originated, However I have seen them used at several church bazaars. For the Recent Church in the park my niece Ally and I had to put together 500 of these as give aways. A ton of work but very rewarding. The hardest part of this project is hunting down the various items in the bag. I have found Walmart to be a great outlet for the little ziploc bags. They can be found in the jewelry section. The Dollar stores are fabulous for the balance of the items. The wooden blocks were a little harder to come by and seemed expensive when doing so many so we just made our own. The blocks are about 1/2" square.
Crank up the music and get going. These would be great inserts into Christmas card or sympathy cards. Just a nifty little item.
