You can use outerHTML property of each element, and add it to a parent element (that will create by document.createElement(), the element type doesn't matter). For example, in ES6:

function getNodeList(elements) {
  const parentElement = document.createElement('div');
  // This can be a differnet element type, too (but only block (display: block;) element, because it impossible to put block element in inline element, and maybe 'elements' array contains a block element).
  let HTMLString = '';
  for (let element of elements) {
    HTMLString += element.outerHTML;
  }

  parentElement.innerHTML = HTMLString;

  return parentElement.childNodes;
}
