Rinse out an empty soda bottle and cut four long strips of plastic.
Connect two strips with hot glue to craft two longer plastic strips.
Connect the plastic at the top and the bottom to mimic the shape of a leaf
Taper the top and the bottom slightly

And tack the plastic to the leaf with floral glue.
Place the leaf in a vase and carefully stack a slightly smaller vase in the first one the keep the leaf in place
Pour water into the bottom vase to keep the leaf hydrated
