Create a Leprechaun Garden

For years the kids and I have been trying to catch a real live leprechaun.  Those leprechauns are mischievous little ones and quick at that!  All that we have been able to capture are a few of their golden chocolate coins. This year will be different. Just like creating a garden to attract fairies, we decided to create a garden just for leprechauns.   I just can't help but smile as I walk by this sweet little garden.  Who knows, this year might just be the year we catch one! I'm hoping they find the golden mushrooms irresistible.

Supplies:

• A planter. I chose one that looks like a rock. It made me think of the Blarney Stone.

• Gold bakeable modeling clay, available at your local craft store

• Baking sheet

• Oven

• Floral wire

• A pair of wire cutters

• Potting soil

• A small 4 inch Oxalis (shamrock) plant

• Moss

Now follow the directions in the photo gallery below to create your very own leprechaun garden.
