I have a four leaf clover that was given to me by someone very close, I would like to turn it into something I could maybe wear around my neck-- perhaps by keeping it between two pieces of glass or something..?
What would be the best method for preserving it?
Right now its just in a plastic sleeve....

Instructions for a plexiglass collage. It also gives instructions for carving lettering into the backside of the plexiglass to give the appearance of %26quot;frosted%26quot; glass. I%26#039;m sure you could use a clear type of glue to paste it to the plexiglass, etc. Use these instructions as a guidline for what you want to do, but on a way smaller scale.
Reply:If you don%26#039;t start drying it immediatley, it will be ruined. You need to put it between some porous paper like newspaper and keep it under pressure...under a few books. Make sure you lay it flat in there...it may take some poking around while pressing it between the paper. We used to collect 4 leaf clovers on a soccer field at the YMCA. Once it%26#039;s dried...about a week...You can encase it in an enamel.
Have fun and good luck.make up
