Hair spray, but only from an aerosol can. It will come out too gloppy and weigh your flowers down in a pump spray. Also there are clear sealers at craft stores.
A gentle burst of clear spray paint is all you need to preserve your pressed flowers. They need to dry thoroughly after being coated with spray paint. I use bowls filled with sand to stand the stems/toothpicks in. You can also use sand-in-a-fancy-dish to make a pretty flower centerpiece! Rustoleum makes some nice clear coats
