{Tutorial} Branches Bling Lighted Centerpiece

Creating beautiful centerpieces for your wedding celebrations is a snap with the David Tutera Bridal collection! With just a few simple materials you can add sparkle and a bit of glamour to your tablescapes. Here are the instructions to make your own:

Materials:

David Tutera Lighted Branch {White – 31.5″}

David Tutera Bling on a Roll

Silk Flowers

Strong Adhesive

Vase {I used a vintage candle mold}

Instructions:

Remove the individual silk flowers by gently pulling them from their stems. I chose a flower garland for this project because it was budget-friendly and contained enough blooms for several centerpieces. Take each blossom apart and remove the stamens and other pieces holding them together.

Stack the flower layers back together and slip them over one of the LED lights on the branch. The blooms should fit snugly on the branch, but if you’re concerned about keeping them in place, simply add a bit of floral tape or washi tape to secure them.

Adding Bling on a Roll to your vase or container couldn’t be easier! Just trim the bling to fit and use a strong adhesive to attach. I discovered that the bling is actually fairly flexible, so it will even fit around ridges or fluted sides. When all the blooms have been added simply make sure the battery pack is filled and pop it along with the decorated branch into your container. The instructions on the branches say that the lights will last for 48 hours. Plenty of time to add some sparkle to your tables!

When my mum started using a wheelchair for longer outings, it changed how we approached everything — from how we packed her essentials to how she stayed warm and dry outdoors. As a lifelong sewist, I naturally turned to my fabric stash and sewing machine to help make life a little easier and more comfortable for her. I began sewing a variety of accessories and quickly discovered there’s an entire world of wheelchair-friendly sewing patterns out there — not just for bags, but for clothing too.

This roundup isn’t just about tote bags and organizers (although there are plenty of clever, functional options for those too!). It’s a collection of sewing patterns that help make everyday life in a wheelchair more comfortable, dignified, and practical. You’ll find saddle bags, armrest pouches, walker bags, and even fat quarter-friendly designs that let you personalize every piece. I’ve tried several of these myself to see what best suits my mum’s needs on different days — whether it’s a compact arm bag for quick outings or a spacious tote for longer trips.

But what really amazed me were the adaptive clothing patterns included in this roundup. From a brilliantly designed rain poncho that keeps the wearer dry without bunching or slipping, to a split-back jumper that’s easy to get on and off — these pieces are more than just functional. They help preserve dignity, comfort, and independence. And sewing them yourself allows you to adjust the fit, style, and fabrics to your loved one’s personal preferences — something store-bought options often overlook.

This collection is for anyone sewing for someone who uses a wheelchair — whether it’s a parent, partner, friend, or someone in your community. These sewing patterns blend compassion with creativity, offering practical solutions with a personal, handmade touch. Whether you’re a beginner sewist or a seasoned pro, these tutorials are an incredible starting point for crafting with care.

Scroll down to explore the full list of wheelchair-friendly sewing patterns — from brilliant bags to cozy clothing. Each project is designed to make daily life just a little bit easier, and a lot more personal.
