“I have a bunch of newspaper pots made, but need to make a few more.”
I don’t know about newspaper pots. Please explain what you do. Thanks for telling me something else I don’t know. :o)

JustADumbBlonde used this stuff all the time for her transplants.
Study the picture that Agnes posted. A newspaper pot is basically a piece of newspaper about 12” X 7” or there about. Fold it down an inch or so so that you have a sturdier lip for the top of the container. Wrap it around a spice jar, larger pill bottle or a large sized vitamin bottle. Leave about a 1.5” extended at the bottom so that you can twist it and moosh it flat (sort of flat). Slide the jar/bottle out and you have a little pot. The paper size will vary depending on the jar/bottle. You’ll have to put the filled pots close together in a tray so they don’t fall over (due to the not so flat bottoms). They dry out faster than other containers. By transplanting time, they are ready to fall apart and are easy to tear a bit for the roots to grow.
Here’s a link that has a picture of the wooden pot maker, and some of the paper pots.

You just cut strips of paper. Wrap them around the dowel, fold the bottom in and insert into the other part of the pot maker and twist. It’s very easy. Video link below:
