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.

Would it be possible to actually tie this rather than go with the "stick on" method?

I guess you could in theory if you made the tie long enough. However, I think getting duct tape tied into a proper knot might be a bit tricky as it wouldn't be as flexible as cloth.

 I made one in two parts for my dad, based off of this, but using all ducktape, and made it full length. It works pretty well, or so I hear...

i made something like this a long time ago, but i made mine just like the size of a normal tie. it was suprizingly easy to tie, as opposed to sticking it on. but your way definitely works, too. here's mine:
