Yes you can. After it is dried out, paint it with some laquer so it doesnt smell and it preserves them.
As a kid growing up with the ocean as our front yard, we would go to the beach and find large star fish. We would then boil them and they would change to a bright orange. after a few days of drying out, we would paint them with a clear coat laquer to preserve them.

Soak in Borax and water and put it some place hot where it will dry out fast so it does not rot.
Just my 2 cents Cheers Tyler
