Clear duct tape sling (fixed with pictures ;)

Today when i woke up i felt creative and i started thinking about how could i do something with some duct tape i had here... and i ended up with this:

...

The pouch is made with leather because i saw that shaped pouch in a D.Morningstar´s thread and i wanted to try it, but i´m sure that it could be done with duck tape aswell.

For making it i use one power tool. The drill. I took 1 long piece of duct tape, stick it to a chair and the other part to the head of the drill and... i started it. The tape started to rolling and after some "pause and re-start" to control the drill, i had this:

...

I repeated the process twice, to have 3 strands to start braiding, and when i finished i had a very long braid.

I made the loop for the finger and tape it, like in a whipping knot, and then i search the middle of the braid and cut it to have two cords. Because the nature of the tape the strands were sticked together and there was not any unraveling. After this i just had to stick the braids to the pouch with the help of a pen, and "tapewhip" it  again

...

I heated all the parts where i "tapewhippèd" anything and pressed to fix them.

I´m quite happy with it! Just came back after throwing some tennis balls and it works amazingly! It´s been done before? I used the search and wasn´t able of find anything
