My favorite way to preserve them is to place them on clear contact paper and then cover them with the same. I cut them out leaving a quarter to an eighth inch away from the leaf to give it room but still enhance the look of the shape.
Hello, if you don't want them to be pressed, you can use silica gel. Here is a link so you can check it out.

dip them in melted wax
I melt wax and add a red/orange crayon. Let all melt together and dip leaves, place on wax paper to dry. They last for years.
Iron them between 2 pieces of wax paper
