    You could hang them on the wall as decoration.

    Don't you just love these little beauties! I sure do.

    So many ideas are spinning through my mind with your question.

    There is the obvious, hang them as a lovely wall decor.

    You could use them them as a plant stand top by taking cutting a hole in the top of a wooden plant stand just an 1/8th inch -1/4" smaller in diameter than the trivet. Use a heavy duty adhesive like E600 around the end edge place the trivet in the whole and allow to dry overnight.

    If the wood top is not painted, you can paint the entire piece, trivet and all a great color. Otherwise, choose a color for the wood first, paint it (after the hole is cut) and allow to dry overnight then glue the trivet in place.

    Have fun. Once you get started you just can't stop, 😉

    I would use them to raise plant containers up off the ground so they drain better. If you can add wheels to them, it will make it much easier to move the plants inside when the weather turns cold.
