Abstract: A holder for receiving and retaining small objects comprises two substantially planar sheets, the sheets being joined to each other along a majority of their perimeters and separated along a minority of their perimeters to form a pocket between the sheets having a deformable aperture defined by the separated perimeters. The aperture and the pocket are sized to receive and hold the small objects. The holder further comprises a notch at each end of and contiguous with the aperture so that upon application of opposing pressure at the ends of the aperture, the holder is deformed to provide an opening for receiving or releasing the small objects.
