You can definitely put leaves in a tray and coat them with epoxy. If you want to go the tray route I suggest getting a premade untreated wood tray from Amazon. Some of these will need to be sealed while others do not. Usually the ones with the lip on the bottom side need to be sealed. I use hot glue and go around the whole bottom so you cant see anymore gaps. Once its sealed you can pretty much put whatever you want into the epoxy. Plastic leaves would probably be better since real ones will rot I would imagine eventually. If you want to do coasters I would use this mold seems to work the best.
Alumilite Casting Epoxy Resin. Get that. It comes in a kit with mixing sticks and clear cups. The cups that come with it arent really big enough to mix the amount of epoxy you need for something as big as a tray so I suggest getting some bigger cups. You will need two types of pigments for a beach tray. Blue and white. I use PearlEx pigment brand I think it looks great. You can use other dyes and alcohol inks but for making solid colors I find the pigments work the best. Find an area you can work that is clean and that you can also control the climate. After you have sealed your tray start mixing epoxy. Make sure you follow the instructions PRECISELY. Not follwing the instructions can leave you with your epoxy not curing properly and ruining your project. If you have a small digital scale that one would use for weighing mail use this to measure the epoxy. It will help get the ratio as precise as possible. Use gloves as it is not fun to get on your skin. I would say mix up about 12 to 17oz of epoxy so the bottom of the tray will have a good thick layer. Separate the epoxy into 3 seperate cups. Make one cup all blue, the next a mix of blue and white and then one all white. For blending you will need a heat gun or a hair dryer will work as well. Add the darker blue then the lighter blue then the white in 3 fairly equal parts but save a little of the white at the end. Pick up your tray and move it around and let the epoxy mix a little and cover the whole bottom of the tray. You can also use your hands that have gloves on them to smear and mix them together. Once you have this done hit it with the heat gun a little to make a more wavy look. Add thin lines of the white you have left over then hit those with the hair dryer as well and spread around making a wave looking design. After that you are pretty much done. Leave it alone and let it cure.
