I recently sold sets like these at a local craft fair - each set has a trivet, 4 coasters & matching card all in this nice metal planter that I found at the dollar store!

Very cute idea. Next time consider making matching paper napkins...very easy and and everyone thinks you're amazing because you "found" matching napkins...

Sure thing - thanks for asking! Here's some info... let me know if you want more!
Purchased coasters from Home Depot tile department. They were $0.38/each (Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA) and have a "finished/shiny" look to them.
Stamp in perm. ink (Staz On or Craft SU)
Bake 30 min at 250 degrees
Let cool
Sprayed with Acrylic Matte Sealer (2 coats) - let dry at least 30 minutes between coats. I spray in my garage with coasters on newspaper and leave them there for up to 12 hours for the smell to dissipate.
Add Cork or felt feet on the bottom
