It is easy to follow but it is very superficial. I have missed the depth of each of the patterns and it does not explain how to make the handle for the bottles. I asked a question and did not receive an answer. The 4 options of where to get the material are very poor, since 3 of them take you to buy scoubidou which is much thinner than the wire they use in the videos and is not the same and the only link to get the PVC is their own brand which is sold out (and also costs a kidney).
