Guest Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Can anyone remember how to preserve leaves with glycerine? I seem to remember you dilute the glycerine and bathe the leaves. The results were good but it was all such a long time ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Sorry, can't help with that one, but if you dry the leaves they keep really well once laminated and the colours stay quite vibrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 We have laminated ours in the past and they have worked really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Someone once told me to rub hand cream into leaves before they start drying out to preserve them. If we had time to do that wouldn't we all have lovely soft hands!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4761 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I remember preserving leaves with glycerine and the results are stunning. You do soak the stems in a glycerine dilution and they just soak it all up and stay very very glossy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
