How To Catch A Leprechaun:

How To Catch A Leprechaun:
Step 1:
Leprechauns are most likely to approach a trap when comfortable with their surroundings. To attain this, spend copious amounts of time painting very realistic grass with a sponge brush.
Make sure to take your time.
Concentrate.
Step 2:
If you're going to actually catch a leprechaun, you'll need some luck. Apply 4 leaf clovers.

Step 3:
Be sure to keep any onlookers happy and content with a binky.






Don't get too frustrated. Remember that leprechauns are tricky. And that's okay. Have some comfort food if necessary. We suggest marshmallows.


Step 4:
Give the trap a natural ambience, add floral decorations as needed.

Step 5:
Prepare the shiny bait.

Step 6:
This last part takes some finesse, so we have not included pictures that may cause some distraction. Stick those shiny things in your trap. We've included a live action tutorial later in this post on how your trap will actually work.
Step 7:
Smile big and be proud of the 2 hours you spent building such an amazing contraption.

As we said, sometimes those Leprechauns can sure be tricky. They dug a hole out the side of that trap to get out. Sneaky Sneaky. Guess we'll have to build a better trap next St. Patty's Day!
