A coupling twisted onto a 260 core stays exactly where you put it, and the core bends with the garland instead of fighting it — so it drapes around corners, columns and arches without kinking. Decorating strip is rigid plastic: it shows through the gaps and it will not curve tightly. Fishing line and ribbon have no body at all, so couplings slide along them and the garland cannot hold its shape. Fishing line is for hanging the finished garland, not for building it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need helium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo. Garlands are built with air.
