How to turn leaves into plastic leaves?

Hello Mic,

I really have know idea! There are methods to preserve leaves, but to turn them into plastic ???????????

Michaels sells a spray preservative for dried flowers that will work

Two sheets of wax paper, put leaves in between. Cover both sides with paper towel and "iron" them. Wax will melt and preserve leaves Cut around the leaves leaving a small edge that seals the leaves in. Have no idea if this is what you want. We used to make place mats in the fall using this technique.

I've heard of dipping them into very warm melted wax. But plastic? No.

Hello I have used Modge podge painted on both sides of autumn leaves to preserve them and they make them somewhat flexible.
