Duct Tape Tie Revisited

Duct Tape Tie Revisited
This project is meant to kill two birds with one stone. When I published the first version of this project http://www.instructables.com/id/EEIY6P7F2ZML3BR/ there were many who objected to my using a cardboard core. So here is a version without cardboard. And I'll have you know that the only time I've found working with duct tape more difficult is when I had to use it while wearing rubber gloves.

The second bird is this will serve as my entry into the office supplies contest.

I'm cheap and like to use what I have on hand and I really enjoy taking things apart to salvage parts. This, the use of epoxy and the Dremel are the only sources of consistancy among my projects.
