Perhaps taking some appropriate foam, cutting it into paper size pieces. Glue those sections in the desired formation of your paper stack. Paint and twine to finish it off. If needed, maybe cover the sections with muslin fabric to give it more of a paper feel. You might also want to consider corrugated cardboard... same rough technique. Of course, treating things with flame retardant as necessary, and using non-toxic foam.

I am a parent volunteer tasked with making the newspaper stacks for our HS production of Newsies. I am very resourceful, but this one has me stumped. Anyone made these? Not sure we have the budget to buy/rent the heavy duty professional ones.
