What you do:

  2. Lay out about 4 full sized sheets of newspaper. Put them together.
  3. Fold them in half 2 times so that they are the size of a newspaper you would buy in the newsstand.
  4. Make another fold about 1/3 of the way up and begin to roll the newspapers into a tight cylinder. Roll it as tight as possible, putting pressure on it and rolling it a little at a time.
