How to mount, seal and preserve dried wedding flowers

| I am drying some of my wedding flowers. I want to arrange and glue them on a decorative piece of acid-free paper and then apply a sheet of laminate to that. Will it stick or do I have to stick two sheets of laminate together? Can I put the flowers on the paper and then that between two sheets of laminate? Is laminate enough to protect them or do I need to also spray them or brush something onto them first. If so, what? I plan to put this in a scrapbook I'm making - so my concern is protecting it from being handled, not so much about sunlight. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

| laminate will be lumpy and bumpy with air pockets-there is no way to press them flat enough. And yes it will stick to the flowers and the paper so either one sheet of laminate over the top or one on each side back and front that is slightly biger than the paper. IHMO the better way to protect them is to mount them and put them behind glass. |
