You can use jewellery findings to add beads and crystals. Add to the baskets by making hooks in the wire. You could also use paper clips. I did a light using beads and paperclips, photo below.
Home Depot or Lowe's sells the light kit that you could use to make your baskets into beautiful lights. We just used wicker lampshades that we turned into hanging lights and they came out beautiful. Just make the hole in what would be the top of the basket and install the light kit. It will need to be wired into the electrical box that is installed in the ceiling and it will work great!
