How do you preserve palm leaves?

To preserve palm leaves, start by cleaning them gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Next, you can dry them flat in a cool, shaded area to prevent discoloration. For further preservation, consider applying a thin layer of clear acrylic spray or using glycerin mixed with water to keep the leaves flexible and prevent brittleness. Store the dried leaves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and texture.
