How can I preserve dry autumn leaves to be part of a homemade wreath or decoration? - wreath projects
I wanted to do this project with my kids, to make and collect enough leaves for me, but I do not know what is best to keep the leaves hard and shiny, perhaps. Or should I just slabs of fried dough and the paint and lacquer? If so, how could I, please?

Wreath Projects How Can I Preserve Dry Autumn Leaves To Be Part Of A Homemade Wreath Or Decoration?

Complex project, we collect each year, I have my kids and pick the leaves and we adjust piecia two squares of wax paper cut on leaf color pencils for the autumn colors, and place cut into small pieces and then the first piece of wax papper on the floor and put the leaves in it and let the children sprinkle the crayon to the absence of a sheet of wax papper, then add a piece of wax papper papper placed over and between two embassies and old iron sheets of wax to the melted wax. then hung in the windows and look like sheets of colored glass.
In order to preserve the color, you can use silicone sand. Sometimes is available at retail, hobby or craft. The instructions are in the container. That will take years. (The silicone used is the same as the small packets to dry goods such as tablets, cameras, etc.) believe, can also be used in order to be the roses and other flowers dry, the colors are sometimes due to this treatment.
I have wax paper. Place the leaves between two sheets of metal and theirs. This includes a thin layer of wax and be stored for a time, otherwise I'd just bought silk sheets.
Sum people dipped in wax ... which makes it a bit so fat, if you want to be thinner and go buy a can of spray paint clear coat
