How to Make a Hanging Parking Pass

Schools, apartments and work places often require parking passes. Failure to properly display the pass can result in a towed vehicle or a large fine. Turning an adhesive window pass into a hanging pass allows you to use it for multiple cars. You can stow the pass away when it's not in use and only hang it up when you need it.

  Slide the parking pass into a
  clear plastic badge protector, available from office supply stores.
  Attach a length of twine or ball chain through the hole in the top
  of the badge holder and hang it from your rear view
  mirror.

  Cut a rectangle of sturdy
  cardboard or plastic that is 4-inches taller than the parking pass.
  Stick adhesive passes to the front of the cardboard, lining up the
  bottom of the pass with the bottom edge of the cardboard. Tape
  non-adhesive passes in place. Cut a 2-inch-diameter hole in the
  center of the cardboard, above the pass. Then cut a slit from the side of
  the cardboard to the hole. Slip onto the rear view mirror
  using the slit.

  Repair a broken hanging plastic
  pass. Cut off the hook portion, but take care not to cut
  into the pass. Punch a hole in each of the top two corners. Thread
  twine or a ball chain through the two holes and hang.

  Create a rear window hanger for
  passes that must be displayed on the back of the vehicle. Attach the
  pass to a piece of cardboard or plastic slightly larger than
  the pass itself. Punch a hole in the top center of the cardboard. Attach a
  suction cup hook the interior of the back window and hang the pass
  from the hook, using the punched hole.
