Do you have a link to a picture? Or is this just a question in general?

Are you talking about the bags that have the window in them so that you can see what is in the bag?

Yes this is the one I am talking about..
Where do you find the things to put inside?

You can get them from walmart or florists sometimes. Someone found some on the Internet. I did some but I put rice in them. It worked pretty good. It can be a little dusty compaired to the little beady things. They can also be more expensive. I imagine that you can use small beans or something as well. It was fun to customize them to the people I gave them to. I found a bunch of small fireman stuff for my bil as that is what he is.

Thank you so much.. Can you tell me where I can find the instructions to make them

Cut out your pieces. What ever size you would like. You can make them differnt sizes. Get some of the table cloth plastic ( I got mine from walmart. ) if I am thinking right I used 6 gage. Cut a hole just smaller than you want your window. And the plastic a bit bigger. Snip the corners of the fabric so that you can fold it in a bit. Lengthen your stitches as it perforated the plastic. You can use a big zig zag if desired. Place the plastic behind and sew around the whole. Rift sides together. Sew leaving a whole to turn. Turn and stuff with supplies. I kept a list of items for them to find. Or you can just leave them search. Sew up the hole. I also sewed all around the outside reinforcing the seam. I didn't want to chance anything escaping. Attach the list. If you need more Han that let me know.

Thanks. Maybe I will get started one one today, at least get the bag started, then go to Walmart and look for trinkets..

I find that dollar stores have lots of little bits and pieces sometimes. I found some alphabet beads to go in them and all sorts of other goodies. Just thinking about it if I was doing a girlie one I would add some sparklies as well and make it glitter inside.
