An accidental bump or scrape is never fun, but even less so when you’re in the car or on a trip. Make you sure have what you need with a travel first aid kit you keep in your car. Keeping a travel first aid kit with you allows you to get bandaged up and back to fun in no time. You can sew one using a free pattern from Sew Simple Home.
This DIY Traveling First Aid Pattern by Sew Simple Home has space for all the things you need in a first aid kit. This is a free pattern with step by step photos showing how to make this handy travel first aid kit. This kit has space for all the thing you need for minor bumps and scrapes while also being small enough to easily tuck inside a glove compartment or in a seat back car organizer.
It’s made up of two large zippered pockets that can hold bandages, cotton swabs, small packages of ointment, or even small pill containers. The two pockets – one clear vinyl and one made from mesh – both allow you to easily see what’s inside. Zippers on each pocket keep everything organized and in its place. The whole thing folds up and snaps shut for easy transport. And if you need ideas for what to put inside your travel kit, this post gives a list of 10 essential items for your first kit.
This bag would also make a great travel toiletry bag or makeup case! I can also see it being a nice bag to hold pens and pencils if you like to make art.
