Portable Small-Item Storage Apparatus

A portable small-item storage apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of spherical containers;
• a plurality of treasury tags;
• each of the plurality spherical containers comprising a first hemispherical piece, a second hemispherical piece, and a snap-fit connector;
• the first hemispherical piece and the second hemispherical piece each comprising a hemispherical base rim, a convex surface, and a concave surface;
• the snap-fit connector comprising an inner lip recess and an outer lip recess;
• the hemispherical base rim of the first hemispherical piece being oriented towards the hemispherical base rim of the second hemispherical piece;
• the first hemispherical piece being hingedly connected to the second hemispherical piece;
• the plurality of spherical containers being arranged in a circular pattern;
• the second hemispherical piece of an arbitrary spherical container being tethered to the second hemispherical piece of an adjacent spherical container by a corresponding treasury tag from the plurality of treasury tags, wherein the arbitrary spherical container is any container from the plurality of spherical containers, and wherein the adjacent spherical container is from the plurality of spherical containers;
• the outer lip recess being integrated into the hemispherical base rim of the second hemispherical piece from the convex surface of the second hemispherical piece;
• the inner lip recess being integrated into the hemispherical base rim of the first hemispherical piece from the concave surface of the first hemispherical piece;
• and
• the outer lip recess and the inner lip recess being shaped to engage with each other.
