First Aid Kit (with instructions for making a lined zipper pouch)

Step 8 Now, make it a first aid kit!

My theme with these kits was car emergency kits for fathers so it was parent-emergency focused. Essentials include snacks, water, hand sanitizer, diaper wipes and ear plugs (I have a toddler, I know what a car "emergency" looks like but was too cheap to include a dvd player.)

I found most of my first aid supplies at Wal-Mart, many of them in the travel section. The best thing was these little, plastic pill cases for $0.50 each. Just PERFECT for asprin, ear plugs, cough drops and the like. I made little labels on the computer and printed them on sticky label paper. You could affix pieces of sticky label paper and write on it OR just write on each section with a sharpie. You do want any medicines well labeled and kept out of the reach of the children. The pill boxes are not child proof.

I also printed up a little card that could be kept in the glove box showing the contents so you know what you've got without rooting around in the trunk.

I would upload the cards and sticky labels as pdfs but I'm not sure how. Let me know if you'd like 'em.

I gave these to four men this Christmas and I think they were well received. Happy sewing and kit making!
