Last week we covered 5 inventive ways of using sticky notes in a fashion other than just leaving a helpful reminder. Some of them were rather unusual for what is essentially a small piece of paper with a thin stripe of glue along one edge. You'd think such a simple thing wouldn't be so endlessly versatile. You'd be wrong. Today, we're going to cover five more unusual and clever uses for one of the most surprisingly helpful inventions of the twentieth century.

1) Create Your Own Calendar/Organiser - For those with a love of DIY and who enjoy having a nice large calendar/organiser to work with, why not try creating your own handy little calendar with sticky notes? Plenty of space to jot down reminders and dates on, and peel them away when the day has passed. It's also quite a unique and eye catching design as well.

2) DIY Guest Book - Rather than having your standard guest book for people to write down messages on, why not try something new like the above. Granted, a stack of loose bits of paper isn't quite as convenient as a single book, but damned if it isn't more decorative and festive.

3) DIY Pinata - a big of cardboard, or perhaps a craft paper bag, some string, a bull clip, and some colourful sticky notes and you can create your own pinata. We haven't come up with a way of creating a long stick for hitting pinatas from sticky notes yet, but I'm sure we'll get there.

4) DIY Planner - For the relentlessly organised, why not create a handy little organiser? Colour coded, and with the ability to pull bits out and add them in as needed, you can create a versatile planner for anything. Meals, exercise, work.

5) DIY Art Sets - Keep kids entertained with some crayons, a small box, and a pad of sticky notes. Simple and easy.
