Nice detail to Tools used & Material selection
Each step had good visual detail in the assembly and good explanation as to why she chose the materials she did as well as her assembly.

I love how simple she breaks it down, while also emphasizing to create the look the student wants. Very nicely done. I would maybe like to hear, during some of the silent periods, some anecdotes on how she and/or her partner learned how to do garlands, how they thought up some of the things they learned to create, etc. All in all, a very informative video, with a beautiful result.
