set stickywidget to ((path to startup disk) as Unicode text) & "Library:Widgets:Stickies.wdgt"
tell application "Finder" to open stickywidget

do shell script "open /Library/Widgets/Stickies.wdgt"

Also, if you want to make sticky widgets without affecting the contents of the clipboard, use this version instead:

set inputText to text returned of (display dialog "Enter some text for your new Sticky widget..." default answer "Note: ")

do shell script "open /Library/Widgets/Stickies.wdgt"
delay 0.2
tell application "System Events"
   keystroke tab
   --delay 0.2 --add this back in if you need it
   keystroke tab
   --delay 0.2 --add this back in if you need it
   keystroke inputText
end tell

For Quicksilver users here is a version that works directly with text entered into Quicksilver's first pane (thus eliminating the need for a dialog box):

using terms from application "Quicksilver"
	on process text inputText
		do shell script "open /Library/Widgets/Stickies.wdgt"
		delay 0.2
		tell application "System Events"
			keystroke tab
			--delay 0.2
			keystroke tab
			--delay 1
			keystroke inputText
		end tell
	end process text
end using terms from

Finally, for people who think in the opposite order (open a Sticky, then type the text), but are tired of how much work it takes to create a new sticky note in Dashboard, I suggest trying New Sticky. (Yeah, I made it, but its freeware, so I feel no shame in plugging for it!)
