Irony can be tough to write because first you have to notice something ironic to write about a situation, which is a kind of insight. That’s also why it’s a fairly impressive writing technique. So the trick is not to practice writing irony but to practice noticing it. Look around you every day, and you will see plenty of ways in which ordinary expectations are contradicted by what happens in the real, unpredictable world.As you look around for irony, take care to avoid the pitfall of confusing irony with coincidence. Often coincidences are ironic, and often they are not. Think of it this way: a coincidence would be if firemen, on the way home from putting out a fire, suddenly got called back out to fight another one. Irony would be if their fire truck caught on fire. The latter violates our expectations about fire trucks, whereas the former is just an unfortunate (but not necessarily unexpected) turn of events.
Another way of putting it is this: coincidence is a relationship between facts (e.g. Fire 1 and Fire 2), whereas irony is a relationship between a fact and an expectation and how they contradict each other.
When to use irony
Irony belongs more in creative writing than in formal essays. It’s a great way of getting a reader engaged in a story, since it sets up expectations and then provokes an emotional response. It also makes a story feel more lifelike, since having our expectations violated is a universal experience. And, of course, humor is always valuable in creative writing.
Verbal irony is also useful in creative writing,

In the story, The Last Leaf, Johnsy and Sue paint pictures together. Johnsy has been diagnosed with pneumonia and their visit to the doctor proves that she will die soon.
Explanation:
This story gradually moves from a very usual, routine life of two young girls to individuals, where one who want to fight for making an other feel better and worthy to live, while another seems to fail to understand what it actually is to fight the disease/illness.
Here, when Old Behrman paints a leaf outside for Johnsy, that is when she realizes that she must fight and defeat the illness, rather letting it defeat her.
Sue and Old Behrman's idea of making Johnsy realize what it takes to be alive, takes away Behrman's life at the end as he catches pneumonia too, because of the cold weather he was standing in while painting the leaf for Johnsy.
To give in to illness in the beginning but realizing how important it is to be resilient, is what we learn from this story.
