Leprechaun Trap!




source: http://liagriffith.com/st-patricks-day-crafts-leprechaun-trap/





Here's what we used to make our Leprechaun Traps:





-clean, clear glass jars (one is a small recycled 4 ounce baby food jar and the other a recycled Kerr™ canning jar)
-glue
-scissors
-sequins
-buttons
-rhinestones/gemstones
-shredded green paper
-1 green themed paint chip sample strip
-themed fabric
-recycled greeting cards
-toothpicks
-green trim
-Lincoln pennies spray painted gold (in lieu of plastic gold coins. You could also use large gold sequins or gold metallic buttons for coins, as a suggestion)
-plastic beads
-St. Patrick's Day stickers
-loose glitter, green and gold
-one St. Patrick's Day "lucky coin" (leftover from last year) We used the larger coin on the bigger jar. 


Everything except for the stickers was culled from our craft barrels.


Cost: $1.00 for the package of leprechaun stickers (Dollar Tree)




Traps set! Wish us Irish Luck!




Here's a fun Leprechaun story we read while we wait to see if our Leprechaun Trap works...
