The Piñata
1. Materials You’ll Need
1 cardboard box
1–2 pads of Post-it® Super Sticky Notes, Rio de Janeiro Color Collection
Scotch® Brand Scissors
2. How to do it
Cut three holes in the cardboard box–two holes on the side for your arms and one on the top for your head. Next,
select three to five colors you’d like for the piñata. Then take your scissors and make three to four vertical cuts to fray
the Post-it® Notes. Place the notes from bottom to top on the box in horizontal rows. Plan to use one color for each row.
Make sure you overlap the notes to create an authentic piñata look!
Pro Tip: Cut several Post-it® Notes at a time to save some scissor snipping energy.
3. Put on your colorful costume. It’s time to party, people!

1. Materials You’ll Need:
2 poster boards
1–2 pads of Post-it® Super Sticky Notes, Bali Color Collection
2 small pieces string
Scotch® Brand Scissors
2. How to do It
Use your scissors to cut out wings from the poster boards. Punch two holes at the base of each wing and use the string to tie them together. Once you have made your wings, use the Post-it® Notes to create the feathers. Start at the tip of the wing and overlap the Post-it® Notes all the way to the top, to create the feather effect.
