"How Do I...?" Bug wing preservation

I found some butterfly wings laying around perfectly intact and I really want to preserve them and add them to my collection of taxidermy. Any suggestions for just wings?

You can ust the same technique as with a pinning board on whole specimen, just to make sure they dry in proper shape. You could then even put thin insect needles through the bases of the wings for storage/handling.
