If you would like to make easy Halloween themed party  basket trays for your Halloween party, I am going to share how I made these trays two different ways, using only items from the Dollar Tree.

The first type of tiered basket I made with the one that took three plastic spider web baskets, and two sets of skeleton tongs.  I have to admit while I love the look with the skeleton arms, this way is not that easy to put together.  Place one of the arms through the two bottom basket tiers and attach with either hot glue or a zip tie. Repeat with the other three arms, trying to get them as straight as you can.  The top basket will be placed onto the fingers. 

We used the purple basket pictured above at a current market, and it worked great to hold my sugar cookies.  I learned the hard way though, not to leave them in the car on a really hot day.  I had brought them to our September market, and had to leave them in the car while I was at work, because the market was right after I got off work. It was over 90 degrees that day.  When I got to the market both baskets fell apart because it got so hot in my car that it melted all of the hot glue.  I had to remake them for the October market. 

Recently I heard the skeleton goblets made great tray dividers as well.  I decided to try it, and not only is it easier, but the tray is a bit sturdier.   I made a few of these to use for Halloween and for next year's markets.  

Both types of basket trays would be great for a Halloween party, it will just depend on the look you prefer.
