7. Add Dimension with DIY Skewer Picks

If your basket feels flat or bottom-heavy, add vertical accents using simple wooden kitchen skewers:

  • Tape flat treats (such as decorative Halloween lollipops, sheet masks, or dried autumn florals) to the top ends of bamboo barbecue skewers.
  • Cut out cardstock silhouettes of bats, crescent moons, or ghosts, glue them to skewers, and nestle the wooden ends deep into your base riser.
  • These picks draw the eye upward and give your basket a dynamic, three-dimensional silhouette.
