I thought I was getting off easy until...she sat on Santa's lap and told him she wanted Doc McStuffins everything. Great.
A quick Pinterest search revealed a ridiculous amount of Doc McStuffins merchandise but then I remembered I had pinned some felt band-aids for stuffed animals. All I had to do add a pink heart. So I present to you my DIY Doc McStuffins felt band-aids. Note: I am sharing with you how I made these with the materials I had on hand. At the bottom of this post I also share some other options.

Directions:
STEP 1 Cut out all pieces to size.
I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the heart. I used "4 hearts" by Lori Whitlock (Design ID #20253). The exact size is 0.815" by 0.950".
STEP 2 Apply Heat n Bond to white felt pieces and the Velcro pieces.

STEP 3 Assemble parts.
I centered the heart on one side. (This is easy since the heat transfer vinyl has a built in transfer tape.) On the reverse side, I centered the white felt rectangle and placed the small strips of Velcro at both ends. (see picture)
STEP 4 Apply heat.
Option 1: I set my heat press (I use one in my shops) to 320 degrees and pressed for 15 seconds.
Option 2*: Now I do realize that not everyone has access to a heat press.You can use an iron too. Use a scrap piece of fabric and cover the band-aid. Then set iron to cotton setting and press firmly for 45 to 60 seconds to adhere the heart. Flip the band-aid over and iron on the white rectangle and Velcro for another 8 seconds.
STEP 5 Use scissors to round the corners.
That's it!
Of course the band-aids need a storage box. Here is the one I created with a little spray paint (leftover from my hopscotch project) and an Altoids box:
I got the idea from Pretty Things by Keren Dukes.

If you have a sewing machine, check out this tutorial from Little Bean Workshop and this tutorial from Pink and Green Mama. But if you are more of a glue gun girl (or guy), check out this tutorial from onelittleproject.com.
Whatever method you use, I hope you and your kiddos have a blast "taking all the ouches away!"
P.S. Here is the matching Doc McStuffins headband I made from a purple headband and some flowers I got at Joann's. I just used my glue gun to attach one of the flowers to the side of the headband.
I also bought a lavender stethoscope from at a medical supply company for only $3.39! I'm hoping to share the DIY Doc McStuffins check-up table my husband made soon. Stay tuned!!

These are great!! I have a friend whose little girl has been going through band aids like crazy for her babies. I'm going to have to share this if that's ok!
