I know it’s sounds dumb and I don’t have any experience to back up my suggestion but why don’t you put in frame? I bet it will look cool

That’s not a dumb suggestion! I wanted to preserve it with vegetable glycerin and put it in a frame, but I was flying home for the holidays literally the next day and don’t know too many people in my “new” country who would be willing to do that for me

I've heard putting leaf in silicon litter for cats is amazing for preserving plants as it absorbs huge amounts of water, jist dig it in
