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.
I added 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.
The full video tutorial is linked below!
Have a great day!
