Lucky Me Leprechaun Trap
As soon as I saw the Lucky Me collection I knew I needed to make a leprechaun trap! This is super easy to put together and there is a full video tutorial linked at the bottom of this post.
The overall trap is 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" and the box itself can absolutely be repurposed as a photo storage box or a card storage box or even a box to hold a mini album. The top has a window so you can see inside to check if you trapped your leprechaun! I used the new Rainbow Dots Heavyweight acetate for the window.
The trap is "set" by raising the little prop that is attached to the front of the box with a Ladybug Chunky Brad. The prop is made from a craft stick from the dollar store. I also constructed a little ladder using craft sticks to help the leprechaun climb inside. When the prop falls it catches behind the Rainbow word from the All the Things pack.
On the front we have a bunch of garden items from the All the Things pack and a leprechaun. I fussy cut the pot of gold from one of the cut aparts because I'd used my other two on my other projects.
I add the Happy St. Patrick's Day sentiment and a couple more elements from the All the Things pack to the top.
The box is matted on all four sides and I used two of the border strips that left attached around the top of the box and on the closure.
