Step 1: Trace, Size, Cut & Place.

To make your MoJo kit, pick out suitable fabric. I suggest if you want to pimp your tin out, use blue velvet or silk. Felt, faux fur, denim, corduroy, velour or leather is suitable too. Use an old pair of your own pants, shirt, bandanna or jacket to bring more of your personal MoJo to the tin. It's going to be dynamic!

Trace the tin lid and bottom onto a clean sheet of white paper.
Label the top piece from the bottom.
Cut out pattern pieces along the trace lines.
Pin onto your fabric.
Cut around the fabric of your choice using scissors, following the pattern line.
Apply a layer of heavy glue like mod podge to the top of the tin.
Carefully apply fabric to the glue on the lid.
Use a roller or your hand to smooth any rough spots. Let dry. Repeat bottom inside, top and bottom.
Optional-If the tin is embossed, you can place a piece of duct tape over it to minimize the effect before gluing the fabric down.

are holy icons necessary? or is that just for people who need some "extra help o' da lord?"

No any necklace with a pendant will do. It can be from your favorite rock band, a pentacle, a crystal, or even dog tags!

Honest and simple question. Why?

It's more symbolic than anything, like a Wedding Ring. It's just a way of showing your devotion.
