This is for a metal basket of sorts but the basic principle should apply to a wicker basket also. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/kitchen-dining/kitchen-lighting/dining-room-swag-light-43344047

HELLO Helen,
Use an old lampshade and drape and secure as you go all around the shade. Continue to do this until you end up at the bottom, then secure and finish! Or buy LED String and drape that over hooks and plug in. Hope that helps.
Here's a simple, but pretty one:

You can purchase the electrical kit for under $20 then just add a lampshade, even convert something like many of the suggestions. I like the look of running the cord through chain. You can pick up chain in your desired length at a big box store and weave the electrical through it. Another option is to cover the cord with small twine or jute rope.
I have tackled this project several time! Here is a list detailing the results!
