Almost any craft store sell's leave's both fall and spring. Much easier and not expensive at all.
Good Luck, Jim

You can try glycerine too. You can preserve branches with leaves on them this way.

Jim's right, and you can get alot of leaf types that are preserved through Al Homes Supply, they are great to deal with and carry just about everything.
