Side by Side Comparison of: Martha Stewart Crafts vs Chloe Elizabeth vs Partyprops

They are super cute, but seriously you should plan on spending a while getting them fluffed.

These were so cute! Easy to go from flat to fluffy. Thanks so much!

I used these for my daughters birthday party and now they're decoration in her room. They were incredibly easy to fluff out and look great. Would not hesitate to buy again. They look great with the gold garland that is also sold on Amazon. The colors are a bit darker than the picture shown a little bit dustier rose colored. They worked for us, but someone might want to keep that in mind when ordering.

Great decoration! They were full and had nice color.

While my friend and I loved the final results of this decoration, we almost lost our s#!t trying to assemble them. Of course, when we got to the last two or three puffs, we had the process down, but they almost went in the garbage about 6 times trying to get to that point.In the end, everyone at the shower loved them and they were a great find.

I bought 2 packages for a baby shower I was planning. There were beautiful and got a lot of compliments. The only downside is the amount of time it takes to open up the pom poms - it took two of us and hour and a half to prepare 4 garlands, so make sure you keep that in mind. It was definitely worth it though!

I think people may have this product confused with another when writing their reviews. No, these are not Martha Stewart but some Chinese company...so the title is misleading. BUT, these are exactly as described.Yeah, unless you actually read the print it would be easy to think these come pre-assembled like me and many others did. But the description does say they must be assembled and realistically, it would cost more to ship them assembled than it costs to buy them.People said they had to fold the tissue, but these arrived pre-folded and pre-tied. All I had to do was fluff them up per the instructions. People complained they rip easily, but they are made of tissue paper. This paper was your average tissue paper and mine did not rip once. Other complaints were these did not come in the colors shown and were not the size described. Mine were the exact colors and sizes they were described to be. Assembling them took about 3-5 minutes each and they fluffed up beautifully! Even my 12-year old daughter helped and she had no trouble fluffing them without ripping.

I bought two packs of the white for a wedding reception.Once they were put together (ie sitting on the couch and a few netflix episodes later) they look great!I got some fishing line and attached them to the ceiling with a push pin.They are made out of tissue paper so they are thin and delicate. I am a guy and ripped them a few times with my fat fingers, but who can tell? They are puff balls!Did you ever make those tissue paper flowers when you were a kid? Exact same concept here. Accordion fold, secure and fluff out.They were actually larger than I thought they would be, and added a very nice finishing touch to the party!

Very georgous and big. Only I used two for decorate the table of my daughter's first comunion. Follow the instruction and is easy to assemble, but need a time.

These were great. Used them for my sisters baby shower. They were easy to do and didn't look cheap.

These pom poms are quite beautiful!! They are quite large as well (between 12 and 17 inches). I used them as wall decoration for my daughter's room, and they turned out to be just what we needed to give her room a special touch. If you ever had to help out with decorations for a parade float, those skills will come in handy, because you will need them for these pom poms! Since I used them for wall decoration I purposely did not unfold the entire pom pom. I was able to secure them with a thumb tack, and because of the size, the tacks were completely hidden. They look like beautiful flowers...some with round edges and others were more V shaped. The edges made for great diversification. You will receive ta total of 5 (2 light pink, 2 darker pink, and 1 that looks Mauve like). The colors compliment one another quite beautifully. Great product from Martha Stewart.

These pompoms are great. They're cut in a few different styles (so the edges of the poms aren't all alike, adding a bit of variety to the look), and they are very easy to assemble. Each pom comes with 20-25 sheets of tissue paper, which makes for a nice, full, puffy ball. They do not come with anything to hang them from the ceiling, but I simply used curly ribbon in a contrasting color, which was cute and functional (you could use fishing line if you wanted the strings to be invisible). Make sure to tie the ribbon/line to the pom before you fan it out. My package came with a very large pale pink pom (14"?), two smaller fuchsia poms (10"?), one smaller pale pink pom, and one smaller vibrant orange pom. I thought the colors and sizes were a great mix. Everyone at the party remarked on these inexpensive but dynamic decorations, and I hung a few in my daughters' rooms afterwards.I found these online before I knew that paper pompoms were trendy; after I bought them, I found instructions for making my own online. Had I known that, I could have bought my own paper, used twist-ties, and made my own poms for less $. But for the number of sheets of paper you get in this kit, the variety of sizes and edges, and the vibrant colors (never mind the convenience of having everything ready to assemble right out of the package), I don't know that I would have saved much money doing it all myself.These easy-to-make poms make a big statement for a little money. I'd definitely buy them again!

budget some extra time to fluff these.

Definitely don't do this on the morning of the event, it's pretty time consuming to unfold each puff. Came out very cute and was the perfect touch for my baby shower

These were great as a decoration. I added miniature clothes pins and photos. See photo. They come compacted and you have to fluff them, unfold them, pull the layers apart. Took quite a bit of time and effort.

I have a makeup area that I really wanted to make pretty and girly and these are perfect. The only thing I don't like it how long it took to pull each piece apart and fluff it up.

I am currently a college student and I thought this garland would look absolutely beautiful in my dorm room. It is quite difficult to "fluff" each and every pompom but it did not take long. Just make sure you don't rush through fluffing them or else they will tear. The different shades of pink give a nice dimension to it. I thought it was a bit pricy for bits of tissue paper on a string. It is a cute idea and it will look great in any setting!

We used these as birthday decor for my daughter's first birthday. We had a pink princess theme. They looked great and my sister in law loved them so much that she asked if she could have them for her wedding! They were super simple to use and hang, and looked really cute in the photos.

I loved these so.much. I bought two packages just in case, but 5 would have done the trick, they are very large. However, I spread them around for a baby shower, and didn't even need balloons. I only subtracted a star because I despised folding the tissue paper. I spent at least 4 hours folding and fluffing these poms poms.I've bought others where I just fluff, but I paid less than $5 for this pack, and I was very happy with the results.

Very large pom poms and very cute. My only complaint is that you have to "accordion-fold" them all yourself which is very time consuming because I bought 4 packages for a party (20 pom poms). Usually these come pre-folded to where all you have to do is fan them out. I'm very glad I opened the package in advance to my party. Otherwise my decorating probably wouldn't have been done in time the day of the party. Does not come with string to hang it with.

These things are great! I'm definitely not a DIY kinda gal and was hoping to make these with as little effort as possible but there's just no way. I used these to create decorations to hang over my daughter's crib & although "easy" it is a lot of work in terms of folding and fanning out (takes a while). Basically it's not fun.. But I imagine if I didn't have pre-cut, pre-folded tissue paper they'd turn out horrible. Word to the wise, if you are bunching them together tie a string to them BEFORE fanning them out so you can tie all the strings together after easily (still it wasn't that easy). It took a while to get it to look "right" but to me this purchase was worth it.

There are great craft projects and decorations. The tissue paper doesn't come folded so you have to sit there and fold it manually, and it takes a while. So be prepared to sit down and fold these for an hour or two or more while watching TV. I like the set because the colors are already picked out and compliment each other so well. I know I could probably do this myself for cheaper by going to the craft store and picking everything out, but we both know that isn't going to happen and I rather get everything I need delivered to my door. Be careful while fluffing, they are easy to tear. Luckily there is so much tissue paper the tears are easy to hide. Once your done the room will look great! I used these paired with Martha's Accordion lanterns in purple and the combined look really set the room for a party!

Apparently I didn't read the description well enough because I thought these were going to already be folded and ready to fluff. Instead they were just stacks of tissue paper with rounded ends that needed to folded, secured, and then puffed up. That is my mistake, however.The product itself is adorable. The pom poms are quite larger than I expected. They don't have string for hanging, so make sure you have some. There are two light pink, two bright pink, and one coral pom pom. At first I didn't think the coral one matched, but it looked nice when it was hung with the others.Make sure you puff them up gently because the tissue paper will rip. That a given, though, when dealing with tissue paper.This product produced lovely pom poms, but I don't think I would purchase it again as it didn't save me from my least favorite part of making pom poms-- folding them.

These are super cute! But sort of a pain in the butt to make into the pom poms, just kind of tedious... I ended up ripping a few of them on accident, but they still looked pretty cute.

This was alot smaller than expected. The colors don't look like the picture and super tedious to put together. I would highly recommend doing it the night before your party!

I'm not totally please with the colors since I thought the dark pick wouldn't be so reddish pink. And the poms are smaller than I expected. Very pretty though.

Theses were cute but took over 30 minutes each to prepare to ill not reorder as way too time consuming. They are very pretty but setting up for a party is too time consuming to spend an hour on one piece of decor.

As makes sense, these poufs come folded and flattened into a small plastic pouch. Unfortunately that left me anxiously setting up for a bridal shower with shakey nervous hands, unable to unfold each pom-pom without tearing it multiple times. Imagine trying to take apart filo dough layer by layer....They ended up still looking pretty cute, but it takes patience and a delicate touch to set these up. Maybe do it beforehand so your'e not nervous about time.

I read the reviews before buying these, which talked about how long it takes to puff up each section. All the reviews were right on. I had some help to get these unfolded and could have done a much better job, but wanted to give up on the time investment after a while. The strands are about 5 feet long (give or take a little) and only have a short piece of string on each end to connect them to what they'll be hung from, so the spacing feels weird unless you use some additional string or line to hang them in better fashion. I'll probably never use these again, and once they're puffed up, you can't fold them back down for easy storage. I just have a pile of tissue paper pom-poms for now.

You get tissue paper bundles with edges either scalloped or pointed. You have to fan-fold them yourselves and then secure them in the middle with the included wire. It takes about 15 minutes to do one. The tissue paper is very thin and tears easily. I strongly suggest you add a string to the middle because there is no way to hang up them otherwise. Other sellers provide them already folded and secured with hanging strings. They look pretty great though.

These look great, they are the perfect decoration for any event..i did not realize I had to be put them together! Maybe I didn't read the instructions properly (very possible, they were a last minute buy because my Walmart one never showed up). They are actually really hard to put together. I'm not very crafty so maybe you won't have do much trouble but I struggled.

The pom poms were just okay. They do NOT come with instructions, so we had to YouTube how to fluff them. A few of them stayed pretty flat even after we fluffed them up. They were much smaller than I expected and the tissue was very thin. Be cautious because they rip extremely easy. They do not come with anything to hang so we had to tie a piece of ribbon to the middle string to hang them. I purchased them for my daughter's party and they looked pretty good from far away. I don't think I would purchase them again because they were a pain and the quality was poor.

I always take reviews with a grain of salt, so when I saw negative reviews of these I thought- no way, Martha Stewart products are always top notch. I've made these from scratch before and I thought I'd save myself some time by ordering these... Nope, I'd have been better off on my own. All you receive is flat tissue paper with the scallops already cut. There are no "pre-scored lines" to fold on. If you aren't inclined to make them from scratch then this will likely work fine for you. But if you've ever made them yourself, it's easier to buy your own tissue paper. That way you can cut the scallop at the end instead of painstakingly trying to match up the pre-cut scallops. Just my 2 cents.

Ok so listen, are these pretty Yes !! Are they big...Yes. Can you make your own YES !!! I purchased them cause I didn't have time to make my own but save your money & make your own instead of contributing to Martha Stewarts billion dollar net worth. They are super easy to make. Just lay like 10 sheets down, fold accordion style, tie the middle with flower wire, cut ends off in half circle or point tip...start pulling each sheet out (center out) until you reach the top & walla !!!!

The size was just as expected. You can only use them once or twice max. If you leave them out they'll get nasty looking covered in dirt and dust (kind of grey looking instead of the nice clean white they show when you use them for the first time). I ordered these pom poms for my baby girl's first birthday party. They looked beautiful but it took a long time to make the pom poms and shape them as you have to pull all the layers to one side and them gently pull them back down all the way to the other side to avoid accidentally breaking the paper. The paper comes already pre-cut in a plastic baggie but they are different. Two of the mediums and one of the two big ones have rounded cut-edges, the other 2 don't

They were smaller than I thought they would be. Hard to open and make them look right. Have made my own in the past and will probably go back to doing that.

Hard to put together and make like the pic! Very flimsy. Once you fight with them for about an hour they are pretty. I don't think I would buy them again but they do look nice if you put effort in

The dark pink pom poms did not match the picture. They were more of a mauve or raspberry color - had to return.

The pom-poms came out very small after we fluffed each one. This product was very disappointing and looked nothing like the picture.

THESE ARE NOT AUTHENTIC MARTHA STEWART. Be forewarned, the colors of these are not the same as pictured and they are not the Martha Stewart brand, so if you're buying other items in that line these will not coordinate, I learned that the hard way :( They came with no instructions thrown haphazardly into a bag and shipped internationally from China. By the time I realized I had thrown away most of packaging and wasn't able to return, unfortunately now I don't have much need for them as they don't go with the rest of the Martha Stewart verified decor I purchased. It seems like a good deal by comparison for a reason, pay the extra couple of bucks and get the real deal instead.

Pretty but takes 5-8 minutes per puff to open up. So the whole string of 6 or 7 took well over thirty minutes to complete! Luckily we found this out the day before the bridal shower or else they would have just been thrown away as I wouldn't have had time to do the day of. Not worth the time .

Smaller then they look in the picture, but they were cute.

Not what the picture looked like. Only one size and they were tiny. I liked them, they just weren't what I ordered

Definitely thought these were already going to be assembled and all i'd have to do is fluff them up. Instead, you are given the tissue paper and you have to assemble them. The instructions are not very descriptive ....I had no idea what to do...I've never worked with pom poms before. Wish it would give better instructions. Watched a youtube video to make sure i was doing it correctly. The end product looks nice but overall if I didn't have the youtube video to help me assemble them, they would not have turned out

I purchased two sets of these pom poms for a baby shower based on the picture and description of the item. The picture shows the pop poms floating above a table and they appear to be as wide as a chair back. They are not even close to this size. They are approximately the size of a salad plate. They also needed to be fully assembled, and did not fluff up to be round, as they show in the picture. The colors are very pretty, and they are very full, which is why I gave them two stars versus one. Maybe it's just me, but I feel the picture of an item should be a true representation of said item. I used them, they worked, they were pretty, but they were not as impactful as I wanted them to be, based on the picture, and the price of the item.

I have purchased a few varying colors of these pom's and love them. Great for cheap party decorations or to hang in a playroom/nursery.However the Pink one's that got shipped to me for a baby shower are not what is in the picture or similar to other's I have recieved. I actually ordered a set of white ones at the same time.The white ones are what they should have been, large squares of tissue paper that you have to fold and fluff, packaged in the martha stewart packaging. These pink ones were small! already folded sheets. They were about 1/3rd the size of what they should have been and didn't have any labeling.Somebody made an error or I just got ripped off by Amazon. It all worked out in the end as I used them anyway, but this is the first time that an Amazon product was not what it was supposed to be for me.

These pom-poms are really cute and easy to put together, but unfortunately they are not the colors that are shown on the packaging. I received two pale pink ones, two magenta (more purple than pink) ones, and one red one (the red one actually had a random sheet of green in the middle too). I read in all the information online to look for any reference that the colors may be different than shown, but I couldn't see anything like that. I probably wouldn't have ordered had I known that the colors would be different. I am keeping them because I need them for a shower this Saturday, but I will just use the light pink and magenta and then I'll keep the red for Valentine's Day. :)

If i could give this LESS than one star I would. AWFUL. It is NOT Martha Stewart's garland. And what I received was not even a garland. It was a bunch of individual pom poms and DIRTY ribbon so i could make my own garland.So incredibly disappointed

Incredibly time consuming to make. Once I did make the balls they looked nothing like the photo. I would not purchase this product again.

The picture shows two shades of pink that are lovely together. In reality, the garland has light pink and raspberry colored pom poms.

The colors are not like the picture at all. The dark "pink" is more like a light burgundy. I wanted these for my daughters first birthday but they are not girly enough at all.

The pom poms didnt open up as I thought they would. They looked cheap and I ended up throwing them away and not using them for my event. Very disappointed.

Poor quality! Don't waste your money. Colors are very dull and its quite difficult to assemble. I wish I could get my money back.

I have ordered these MANY times in the past (b-party's, events, etc.) and they have always been great.......until now. I have NEVER smelled such a fowl chemical smell as I did with them this time around. Absolutely horrible. Airing them out for 24 hours did nothing but stink up the room they were laid out in, so in the trash they went! Will not be ordering ever again.

These are NOT Martha Stewart brand. I received five stacks of folded tissue paper with no instructions on how to get them into Pom Pom form. I've actually purchased the product pictured (Martha Stewart brand) in the past and these are definitely not those. Also, what I got was two large light pink and three small dark pink, not the sizes and shades in the picture. This is a misrepresentation and most certainly should not be allowed to use the Martha Stewart brand name in the listing. I really feel like I got ripped off here.

This item did not come in the original packaging even tho it was advertised as new. They were not very difficult to fluff but be careful not to pull to hard as the tissue does tear easily. The coral puff is actually Tennessee orange so not sure how that fits in with pinks. Mostly, I was disappointed with the size. They ended up being much smaller than I anticipated them being.

I have purchased other brands of these party Pom poms befor and love them for my events, these sadly did not work out. Normally when you purchase these from any other brand the tissue comes pre folded and tied with the string so all you need to do is fluff them out. We opened these on the morning of my shower planning on that being the case and unfortunately we couldn't use them because of the fact they are send in sheets of tissue paper that you have to fold like an accordion and tie with the included string and then fluff out so it takes a significant amount of time so if you buy them plan for that. However in all honesty if you have to do all of that your self you mine as well save your self the money and just buy a pack of tissue paper and a roll of string it's the same thing.

This product has done nothing but irritate me. I'm a crafty person but cannot get these to look as advertised. I have 2 little ones and was hoping to use these for my daughters 1st birthday. My husband said it was a waste of money and unfortunately he's correct. I guess I will use my own tissue paper and try again. Someone should go back to prison.. Rip off - marthaI thought I'd be fair and try again. I just wasted more time. I've now just thrown all of this tissue paper in the rubbish!!!!!!!!!! I'm extremely irritated and upset. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed with an online purchase.

These were delivered in an envelope, there was NO Martha Stewart packaging or any packaging/branding for that matter. I have purchased Martha's Pom poms from Michael's for a party I had and these pink Pom Poms are NOT the same!!!!! Not only are they not from Martha Stewart but they are really small, not even close to what they have pictured. This seller has completely ripped me off. I am always very happy with my purchases from Amazon, but this has really angered me. I bought these for a baby shower I am hosting and now I need to go out and find the bigger size I was initially looking for. DO NOT BUY. The dimensions they have noted are inaccurate, the Pom poms are actually about 7".
