In Your Pocket Altoids Tin Meditation Kit

Ever find yourself in the middle of it all or in the middle of nowhere needing to stop and ground yourself with a little meditation? Well, now you can! I am here to show you how easy it is to make a cute, compact and useful meditation kit that fits right into your pocket!

Meditation is the practice of living in the present moment. It can also be very much like prayer or praise. It is a quiet and calm celebration of our beautiful and abundant lives and a time to convene with the universal higher power to share gratitude and love.

Jesus would have LOVED one of these! If he'd had a pocket in his robes!.

Step 1 Trace, Size, Cut & Place

Pick any beautiful fabrics and images that inspire you.
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.

I am a traditional Catholic, and this is about as close to a miniature shrine as one can get! It's very clever, and would be useful often-especially in the work place, or where ever. Thumbs up for me. :)

Thank you! There is also room to tuck in a rosary or meditation beads.
