Clever idea! One suggestion, though. While "clear tape" may be the best option in actual use, how about making the instructable photos over using an opaque tape, or duct tape. It would be easier to follow.

I don't get what the "notch" is about. Is it a cutout or a slit or something? It doesn't get mentioned in the other steps, so maybe not important.

the notch makes a loop in the tape once its folded over.
