Not that that trap needs any explanation, but just for kicks I'll give you the details.
Clearly, first you take on whole soccer goal and lay it widest opening down. Then you take leftover gold foiled chocolate coins and TAPE them to the grass, to entice the leprechaun into the trap. Then you take a whole roll of tape and connect one end to the top of the frame, sticky side out, and the other end all the way down and then for about a foot on the grass. Repeat this so there is another strip of tape approximately ten inches apart from the first one. Then stick two jai-lai catcher-thingies on the top of the trap, so that the bright color will catch the leprechaun's attention and direct his interest towards the taped-down-gold-foiled-chocolate-coins. Obviously when the leprechaun is so intrigued by it all, he will walk directly into the tape hanging and not on the two feet of open areas on either side of said tape, thus getting stuck in the tape until the morning when Addie and Ben can find him.
Ta-dah! Can't be any easier than that, right?

Bizarrely, this is the traditional Irish method of capturing Leprechauns, even down to the jai-alai catcher-wands.

And it's all because Addie was pulling the soccer goal around and I innocently asked, "what are you doing, making a leprechaun trap?", and the quest was on! Anybody got a teeny-tiny foot we can dip in chocolate and leave footprints on the back steps?
They look so proud. . . as of course they should be!
