storage question?

Hi, I think this is my first post, but I looove this community.

I need your guys' help!
I do floral arrangements and such. My bigger/taller flowers are currently residing in an old wastebasket that has a crack in it. (Though it's overflowing because I need to do more work, instead of just collecting!!) This actually works okay, except somethings get tangly because of crowding.

The problem is shorter/smaller/more delicate flowers. Right now, I'm using some shallow plastic baskets that I already have, but I don't care for them because I can't see everything and tangling is really bad. I'd thought of using jars, or maybe something like recycling some margarine containers, but none I have seem quite right. They're too shallow, or too deep, the opening's too narrow/wide, too lightweight, etc.

So, fellow craftgrrls, do y'all have any ideas? I don't mind recycling, and am handy enough to construct something (or find help doing such).
