I remember trying to google those - impossible ::)

I tried every term I could think of with some very strange results. I ended up making small glass bumps and sticking them on my coasters, at least I can use matching glass :)

I did try 'bump-ons' and got this

but I haven't bought any from them as I found them after I started using the glass ones

Yes i've tried every term I can think of on ebay but with no luck. I've a feeling that they have a weird name that I heard once and promptly forgot.
The ones in the link look perfect if they are made of the squishy silicon stuff (technical terminology there)

They do look the thing but I think I was put off by the industrial look to the site and the fear that I would have to order thousands  :o

Tempsford stained glass sell them but they are a bit expensive there especially wth the P&P. I recently found some in homebase (by the knobs/screws and fixings)

Not sure if you wanted clear ones or opaque, but Warm Glass sell the clear bumpers, in 3 sizes.

I used the B&Q ones when some came off the fused glass coasters we have and they have lasted much better than the ones originally on :D

If you search for 'page pebbles', you'll find them in lots of different shapes and sizes. They're very popular with papercrafters.
