Leprechaun Trap

The kind folks at SVG Cuts provided a free cut file for the “Gold Coin Inn Leprechaun Trap.” Martha Stewart Crafts asked them to create a trap. It was fun and easy to do. If you don’t have an electronic cutting machine, they have templates available for this project to print and cut with scissors.


There’s a coin hanging inside the inn to lure the Leprechaun inside. Once he steps in to get it, he’ll fall to the bottom of the box!


I used paper from my stash, cream and two shades of green. The “fence” and the lattice in the windows were punched with Martha Stewart Craft’s deep edger punch, Garden Trellis. I picked up the coins, the moss, the band of sequins, and the materials to make the ladder at Michael’s. I used Martha Stewart Crafts metallic gold paint the ladder.

  3. Wow! That is adorable. It looks like a lot of work, but you can use it every year, so that's definitely worth it. Let me know if you catch one :-)
