Make Easy Leprechaun Traps

Little children spend the start of March dreaming up ways to catch the little lucky green guy. There are hundreds of leprechaun trap ideas out there but which ones actually work?!!

Previously I made a Hat Leprechaun trap easy and a clay pot leprechaun trap. 

This time around I went for a different material in the form of a bottle to try and lure a leprechaun. I have tried to entice him to climb up a ladder to get the pot of gold and lots of gold coins. I am hoping he sees my rainbow and believes he can grab the riches, but at the same time fall into my bottle and get trapped by the green pom poms!!

What does everyone think? Will this leprechaun trap actually work? Only one way to find out and that is to follow my bottle leprechaun trap step by step craft process.
