Default Is there such a zip tie?

I'm looking for a variation on your standard zip tie where the tie is a two piece affair. First piece has a flat head like a washer and has the long tie strip projecting centrally from it. The other part is like a flat washer through which the long tie strip is pushed and which locks the strip.

So if you want to join two items together, you push the long tie though both pieces to be joined and then the locking washer. You then pull the strip firmly to squeeze the two pieces together.

Does something like this exist?

Plenty of normal zip ties work fine with two of them used in series.

You don't give any hint as to what thickness the peices to be joined
togehter are, if it isn't too thick the a plastic rivet/pop stud. may
do the job.

Given as example only.

A google image search using POP stud or Plastic rivets will show
several variations.

I'm sure I've seen security seals like that, but google fails me at the moment.

A bit like this, if you put two buttons on one tie?

Or two button ties back-to-back? Looks like the strongest solution yet
proposed.
