I'll go contrary to most answers here. I'd say if you take some stiffer demien (like from a back pocket) it could work. People are talking about "wear" but if used correctly I don't see that happening. You're not rubbing the demien along the string. More expensive tabs allow for replacement of the leather. If you take one of those, creating a demien tab should be no problem. Also given that the demien is easier deformed than leather, it should give you a nicer feel for the string.
