DIY Mini First Aid Kit

January 30, 2015 by Tiffany Davis 2 Comments

A simple DIY Mini First Aid Kit is easy and inexpensive to assemble.  I was able to gather everything you see here from my local Dollar Tree and what I already had in my home.  I wanted my DIY mini first aid kit to be small enough to slip into a purse, backpack, brief case or a diaper bag.

DIY Mini First Aid Kit

For this mini first aid kit I used a soft sided eye glass case that I found at Dollar Tree.  I liked the size and it was expandable enough to get a lot in there without being bulky. You could use a pencil bag for even more room, even a quality sandwich zipper bag could work in a pinch.

This is not meant to be a survival kit and certainly not an all-encompassing first aid kit. This is your little go-to when you’re on the run, at the park, work, in a drive thru…you get the idea.

Gather Your Supplies

    • 6 standard sized band aids
    • 2 large self-stick dressing bandages
    • 6 individually wrapped alcohol prep pads
    • 1 tube of antibiotic cream
    • 1 tube of hydrocortisone cream
    • 1 bottle of eye drops (just they dry eye formula for flushing the eye if needed and no water)
    • 6 individually packaged pepto tabs
    • 6  individually packaged Aleve 12 hour pain relief (if you have kids you may want to replace 1/2 of these with a children’s formula)
    • 6 individually packaged antihistamine
    • 1 pair of tweezers, not pictured
    • 1 pair of disposable gloves

First Aid Basics

Assemble The DIY Mini First Aid Kit

  1. Fold the dressing bandages in half and put the band aids and alcohol wipes inside.
  2. On top of that add the tube of antibiotic and hydrocortisone cream.
  3. On the side I put the gloves, held by a pony tail rubber band.
  4. Zip up the case a bit sod you can slip in the tweezers and medicines.
  5. Now I zipped it up about 3/4 of the way and wiggled the eye drops in.
  6. Zip up and pair with a hand sanitizer.
