Does anyone know how to preserve flowers with acrylic?

Does anyone know how to preserve flowers with acrylic? I've seen online that some companies make them where the fresh flowers are dipped in an acrylic glaze and then accented in gold, is there a way I can preserve them at home using the acrylic method (obviously without the gold accents of course) ?



Thanks for any help you can give.

Does anyone know how to preserve flowers with acrylic?
There is a product for sale in craft stores, that I believe is called Floral Elegance. It is a clear liquid acrylic that is poured into clear vases that you insert artificial flowers into it. It dries clear an looks like water. This product might also be used to preserve fresh flowers. I say MIGHT be used, because it is not it's intended purpose, and I have never done this. Another method you might use, is to dip your flowers in enough melted wax to cover the entire head. Once dipped, suspend upside down to allow the excess to drip off. Practice either of these methods on cheap flowers first. Good Luck
