To Catch A Leprechaun

Today I share with you, a very secret... Top Secret creation...

In the beginning

Actually, I will let you in on a little secret... when your granddaughter comes home and says she has to complete a "school project", you jump to the occasion right? Doesn't matter you find out after the fact, that it wasn't really a school project; we love our grandkids and think "anything" not involving a game system is Awesome! So...without further ado...

The Coolest Leprechaun Trap... Ever

It all starts with a plan

You've got to get gold to catch a Leprechaun right? So we had a small planter we were going to use for seeds but came quite in handy! We added plastic wrap over the top when we were done adding our "gold" colored paper in various sizes...(that kept the gold from falling out)... Pot 'O Gold

The Creation Begins

We had bought a little craft kit that was on sale during the holidays; our plans were to create little fairy houses and put them up outside in a specific area (that might be a future post), but thanks to the help of Uncle Zach (AKA: @stealthunicorn) this Leprechaun was sure to have a trap fit for a ....well, Leprechaun...

Magic paint

Our granddaughter Chloe insisted that the paint had to be magic (which began her various 'make the paint magic' rituals)... this way we not only created beautiful artwork on the side but also a force that kept the Leprechaun trapped...

Let's Build Those Walls!!

After taking a quick snack break, Chloe and Uncle Zach went full force in completing the walls for the trap. We didn't put a roof on, because when the trap had served its purpose, it would be used for various things like...

• LOL Dolls
• My Little Ponies
• Shopkins

Above the walls you can see custom types of furniture such as a table, chair, and bed; if the Leprechaun decided to stay, he had to be comfortable!

And At Last Its Done

I remember doing this kind of stuff when I was younger; didn't have an Xbox or 256 channels to vegetate on. You went outside, you worked on cool projects, you used your... imagination Hope you enjoyed this little tidbit I conjured up. It's always a pleasure to have the grandkids down for a visit, and the smile on Chloe's face when she was done, made it all worth it. I will keep you all informed, and let you know if that Leprechaun showed up, got trapped, or more than likely...had tea with the neighbor dolls...
