How would you make a flower pin like this?????

[Aimerette]

I bought this flower pin at a mardi gras fair in Kelowna, BC a couple years ago and I love it so much.  It is made from a real pressed flower that has been coated in some kind of clear varnish(?).  I usually wear it on a silver hoop.

I would love to try making one...any ideas???

PLEASE HELP!!!!

you could coat it w/ resin? it looks like it might be enamel.

I think I am going to try using resin.  It looks like there is paper on the back because its white....so i think i might glue the flower down to paper first and then coat it.
