Making a peep sight for my pentax???????

Has anyone a good idea how to make a peep sight for my pentax pf80ed-a scope, after missing many photo ops because of my slow speed of getting on target i've decided to do something.

Hey thanks for the ideas, i was actually messing with the cable tie idea when i came across some L brackets with 2 holes on each end, i used electrical tape to mount them on the scope one near the eyepiece and one at the tip of the sun shade, i had to drill an extra hole on the front sight to get it to line up, but it works pretty good, the only problem is i have to align it before hand because the sunshade rotates and it will be off, i should have mounted it on the body. I'm still looking for a more permanent solution.
