Using New Containers for arrangement

I purchased these bamboo basket containers separately at different times, they are well made and very pretty. The first one is 17inches and half tall, the water holder tube inside is only 2 inches in width. So it is difficult to insert the flowers or branches. Choosing the materials is a bit challenge. The 2nd container is 4 inches and half in diameter. Itself is already an art form.
