- Results! And “How to” of preserving leaves with glycerine…
While I finish up sewing the glitter rainbow book it was time to pull these guys out and see what hat happened. They’ve been soaking in a pan in the tub for the past two weeks… Glycerine came from the pharmacy section of Walmart for about $2. Mix up 1 part glycerine to 2 parts water… then soak your leaves. I placed another pan on top to keep them submerged. Did a test and pulled out a couple ginkgo leaves after one week and they are brighter in color, but not as pliable as those left for two. Sweet gum leaves worked well. Ready to try again now that many more are turning those beautiful colors! Ok, now back to sewing that book ✌️✌️
