3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make an Item Frame

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make an item frame, place 1 leather and 8 sticks in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making an item frame, it is important that the leather and sticks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 3 sticks. In the second row, there should be 1 stick in the first box, 1 leather in the second box, and 1 stick in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 sticks. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for an item frame.
