You are aware that amber is tree sap that has been petrified? That is how the inclusions such as bugs and leaves happened. I've heard of attempts to replicate amber but am unsure of how well it works. One reference I know of is from the MadSci.org network in the chemistry section using resin which is basically tree sap. Run the search from inside the site using 'artificial amber' in the question/search blank and it should be there. Otherwise it might take a bit of hunting but I would say it is either that or coming up with a system to replicate the effect of a couple million years of aging on sticky tree sap.

Take the exuded sap of pine trees and allow it to solidify in air then bury it in sandy soil and leave for about 35 million years. (this is the rough age of Baltic amber) Good luck.
