How can I store fresh cut leaves temporarily to keep them fresh

My wife needs fresh leaves for an art project. Is there a way to keep them fresh as if you just cut them off? They don't need to last a very long time a few days is enough I think.

Hi Marcus.
I've heard that if you layer the leaves with salt they'll stay fresh.
They do that with Basil.

Layer with damp towel, in a bag in the frig.

I would just sprinkle a very little moisture and store them in the veggie fridge part inside a plastic bag.  

Thanks guys! I am going to try the paper towels and te fridge. I don't know if the salt would work for her. She has to roll the leaves in clay.

I recall good while back trying to see if i could root a leaf and put its stem in water darn thing stood green for long time before i figured out um NO .

I think that would work. She needs like 30 leaves. That might get tricky
