I've been wanting to make this craft for a very long time and needed to wait for the right occasion. If you were a kid in Arizona in 1989 or earlier, you'll understand. Wallace and Ladmo was the most loved children's show in the state. On every show, they gave away Ladmo bags to a few lucky kids.
I made this Ladmo bag using this tutorial for printing onto paper bags. She used Word, but I prefer PowerPoint for this sort of thing. Simply resize your paper to 5x10 inches and insert your graphic. But where oh where, does one find the graphic? You can't just use any old typeface! So I made one. You're welcome!
A little tape in the right places to help keep the bag from getting jammed in the printer and presto! Your very own Ladmo bag, just waiting to be stuffed with goodies!
If you're wondering what kind of goodies go into a Ladmo bag, well...

Pretty much, it's just junk food, it's the bag that makes it special. Be sure to include one beverage, one bag of chips and lots and lots of sugar.
This is a fantastic gift idea for a former Arizona kid. In fact, the one you see here was a gift for a kindred soul who also never got a Ladmo bag. Sure to get a big goofy grin, and possibly a tear or two.
