Homemade Bandage

Need a bandage and you don't have anymore? Make this homemade bandage from things around the house!

Step 1: You'll Need....

What you'll need to make this bandage is tissues, tape, and a marker.

Step 2: Time to Make It!

Fold Tissus until a bit bigger than wound.

Step 3: Time for Marker! Part 1

Hold tissuse down while drawing whatever you like on what you want to be the front of the bandage.

Step 4: Time for Tape! Part 1

Cut a little piece of tape & put it on the 1 end on the middle of the side. Do this 3 more times on the other sides. When your done you will have a little pad of tissuse on the back middle

Step 5: Time for Marker! Part 2

On the back of your bandage. Draw a line right by the tape ( the side closest to middle.) you will get some marker on the tape. ( Don't worry, you're supposed to do that.)

Step 6: Time for Tape! Part 2

Now cut a little piece of tape fold it so it's like a piece of double sided tape ( it will be sticky on both sides ) put tape on the edges diagonally. Do the same thing on the other 3 sides.

Step 7: How to Put It On

Put on so others can see what you drew. Make sure on the back that the pad is on your wound.

Step 8: Enjoy!

Now you've made your homemade bandage! Enjoy everyone!

I like this idea. I would like to see more constructive ideas with scrap cloth that can be sanitized after use and reused for applying salve to help moisturize cracking fingers from psoriasis or any related skin issue.

I really wouldn't recommend this.

If you put tissue paper on an open wound the tissue paper will get stuck in the wound causing a route for infection.

When you come to remove the tissue it will pull the scab off reopening the wound and/or leave bits of tissue paper in the wound.

What would you recommend then? This instructable was if you run out of bandages.

Non-stick dressings are best for a wet wound, but protecting a sealed, healing wound is still important. I prefer Viva table napkins and cloth tape as a soft pad to protect from re-injury.

Infection? Pfft. Germs build the immune system.
