Side by Side Comparison of: Amscan vs Martha Stewart Crafts

These are great one-time use decorations but will break if someone pulls on them. Most people do that anyway but I usually enjoy saving decorations for different occasions. While my party was more fancy these went well with the Rose all Day banner I got from AmazonRose All Day - Rosé All Day- Funny Wine Bachelorette Holiday Housewarming Birthday Party Banner Sign Rose Metallic

Perfect....nice quality

These are so cute! They are a brighter link than I was expecting but they looked darling hanging up for my daughters birthday party. I plan on revising them for another party. I'd definitely recommend them.

Awesome deal for this set of paper decorations. The garland, balls, and wheels were awesome. I wasn't a huge fan of the print on the circles or the paper, but they looked fine from a short distance and will hold up well.

The best looking of all our decorations. They held up very well and made the room look so special. Everyone remarked how good they looked.
I will buy again.

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!

These were super-easy to hang, and made a big impact. Not the best tippedy top quality, as they were a little crocked in the assembly at places, but overall a great product, would buy again.

This decorating kit was used for a baby shower. Everything that was on the picture was included in the set. The one surprise I got was the two hanging sets. I thought those were 3D, but they are actually 2D pink circles that look 3D. Overall, it did not have a negative impact on the festivity of the shower.

I used this set, a few pink swirls, and a baby shower banner for the entire set up. It made the entire house look happy and welcoming for a baby girl.

These are well made and can be reused again, if you are very careful.

Good package, many decorations, very pretty pink

Great way to jazz up a simple baby shower! We have a small living space, but this decorations were perfect without being corny or overwhelming.

Very cute; items are as pictured. They are nice because you can fold them flat and use them over 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.

These were fine. They got tangled a lot and didn't survive very long after putting them up.

The product is nice but the color y darker (a lot darker) Than the shown in picture.

Very cute

Everything was real cute except two of the long hanging decorations they looked totally different I wouldn't of paid 50cents for 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.

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 .

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.
