vasaline works really well. paint a thin coat with a thick brush in 1 sweep, like you put on nail varnish
Reply:Hairspray also work as a sealant. I've never tried Vaseline, but it sounds right. maybe spray them afterward, to lock in the greasy coating.

Reply:A freind of mine tried pva and water and the leaves she used went mouldy in the winter. There are spray glues you can get for this kind of project, they're a bit expensive but easier to use.
Reply:you could vacuum seel them in a bag
Reply:the only thing i can suggest is to press them

or try a second or two in the microwave, I dry herbs this way but it tends to make them brittle
