Gather white paper, a pencil, scissors, and tape or glue
Cut a rectangle from the paper
Roll the paper tightly into a cone or cylinder shape
Keep the tip narrow for blending small areas
Tape or glue the edge to hold the shape
Trim the tip to a smooth point if needed
Compress the paper tightly so it feels firm
Use the stump for blending graphite or charcoal
Replace it when it becomes too dirty or worn
