After several incidents, I have found something that I think would be helpful for everybody even if they don't use it. Here is the First-Aid Kit.

Supplies

What we are going to put into the First-Aid tin.

The 3 Gauze Pads

Take the Gauze pads and follow the images steps.

This is the main component that mostly everything will be held in.

Large Gauze Pad

The large pad is what the Bundle goes into before being inserted to the Tin.

Inserting the Bundle Into Tin

Placing the Bundle into the Tin so that it locks the larger pad inside to stop it from coming apart.

Waterproof Tape

This is an after step to put it in after the Bundle is already in the Tin.

Knife and Closing It

The Shoe String is useful for not only holding the Tin shut, but also can be used as a Tourniquet in case of a severe accident. This is more of a personal step, you can wrap this with your favorite wrap design or just a simple one with a simple knot. 

Finished!
