My DIY first aid kits with templates

Inspired by Stephanie, I made these first aid kits.

The boxes were 97 cents at target in the travel section (with the little shampoos, etc.) They came with the bandaids, guaze, and wipes. I added the Q-tips, lip balm, and Advil/ Imodium packets. I typed up the safety info for the Imodium & Advil & put it in the packets.

I’m still waiting on my lip balm labels to arrive.

A powerpoint with my cover image (from Stephanie), advil packets, and drug safety sheets is attached. Feel free to “borrow†it.

If it isn’t clear from the picture, the packets are 4x4 squares of paper. I folded them & taped them to make a little envelope.

I will add the pills when I get to Mexico, because they need to be in their original container for customs.

Here is the template. It includes the safety sheets, advil packets, and the cover image.

I'm at about $8 per bag ($128 ) & I still need to buy snacks to add to it. Crazy how fast it adds up. The locks were the most expensive, but I really like them. I can program the combo to be anything. I really wanted to do what I could to keep our guests stuff safe.

So cute Morgan! Everything looks great. Thanks for sharing your templates!

That all looks great Morgan Love your DIY stuff!

Here is what I have so far. The locks haven't come in. I also haven't bought the actual bags. I wanted to keep the contents small so it was easy to pack.

I also have the welcome letter & more paper stuff to print. I will probably throw in post its & a pen.

Ohhhh....you used Brain Candy!! <laughs> I LOVE that!!! Very cool.

I have a question....where are you getting your tote bags? I was looking at the ones on Oriental Trading POst. They are cheap, but upon looking at them...they are VERY small. Where are you getting yours? I only want to spend like, a dollar on them...but I don't want teeny tiny ones either.

Well, If i find anything, I will let YOU know!!!

they are really cute Morgan, your stuff is really coming together
