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.

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.

when I was last in Singapore they were selling orchids dipped in gold, give it a try..................... or try a second or two in the microwave, I dry herbs this way but it tends to make them brittle
