Depending on the size it might be difficult to find a pre-made coaster form that will fit a completed piece. I have been pondering how to make a coaster out of a piece of lace without harming it, and I came up with this:
Couldn't you cut two pieces of Mylar - a top and a bottom - into the appropriate size and shape, use archival glue to seal the Mylar around the edges, and then just glue a piece of cork or leather on the bottom? What do you think? After all, at the archives they seal old maps in Mylar to protect them, so I don't think the lace would be harmed, and if it turned out to be a bad thing you could always just cut open the sealed Mylar sandwich and retrieve your lace.
