It was a very simple but long process.

Dense growths of the Cyperus papyrus plant were a typical feature of ancient Egypt; it was particularly common in the Delta. The stems were first cut lengthways into thin strips which were laid close together, then covered with a second layer at right angles to the first. These were sprinkled with water, then pounded with stone hammers; this flattened the layers and released sticky juices that acted as a natural glue.

This pounding went on for some time, eventually producing a very thin but strond sheet between 15 and 50 cms wide. Once dry the white surface could be used to write with ink that would not run or fade for a very long period. The sheets were then glued together to create long strips and wound around wooden rods - making "scrolls", some 40 meters long.

Many people do not know that the word "papyrus" (and also its derivative "paper") comes from ancient Egyptian pa per-aA, meaning "something from the Great House" or "something royal".
The Egyptians created papyrus paper by taking the papyrus plant and placing them in grid and pounding them together. After letting them dry, they cut them to the lengths they wanted.
