Nope, Duct tape = all powerful. xD

People have claimed that they've used their duct tape wallets for 10 years and nothing's really happened to them.

I wouldn't know. I lost my wallet a few weeks ago. D:

I did this about 2 years ago and my sister loved it. Try putting a front pocket on it. I also got some clear and purple duct tape cut a strip of it and weaved them to make a cherboard effect.
