Either by friction on a non-conductor, or by the influence of two conductors approaching each other. An insulator is often used as it is a simple way of doing it, and will hold the static and not simply conduct it away as it is generated.
Most friction-generated static requires a dry day, as moisture in the air will also bleed away the static.
See Wikipedia.org/whimshurst or Wikipedia.org/vandegraaf to see machines using the two basic types of generating static.

Is Electrostatic force and Static Electricity the same force?
Electrostatic force is the force of attraction or repulsion between electrically charged objects, while static electricity refers to the imbalance of electric charge on the surface of an object. Static electricity can be a result of the effects of the electrostatic force. Essentially, static electricity is the result of the imbalance of charges that creates the electrostatic force.
What does Electrostatic separation mean?
Electrostatic separation - is the use of static electricity to separate one substance from another.
Electrostatic discharge is commonly known as what?

Electricity that does not flow?
What you are referring to is called static electricity. It is defined as the accumulation of electric charge on the surface of a non-conducting (insulating) material. It is generally produced by friction or by electrostatic induction.
