Crafting weapons, tools and items is the bread and butter of every Minecraft player. However, that’s not all you need to do when playing the game. Minecraft has several other decorative items that you can craft to make your base look better.

Picture frames in Minecraft
Much like their real-life counterparts, picture frames in Minecraft are used to display items in the game since there are no pictures. You can display any item you want inside a picture frame.
Crafting a picture frame
To make one, you’re going to require the following items.
- 8 x Sticks: Can be made from wooden planks.
- 1 x leather: Found by killing cattle.
Picture frames require a 3 x 3 crafting grid, meaning you’re going to need a crafting table at the ready. Once you’re good to go, follow these steps.
Step 1: Walk up to your crafting table and right-click to interact.

Step 2:Â Place the sticks and leather in the exact pattern below.

Once the picture frame has been crafted, move it back to your inventory.
Using a picture frame
Once your picture frame is ready, walk up to a wall with the picture frame equipped and right-click to place it there. Once you’ve done that, you can equip the item you want to display in the picture frame and right-click while looking at the picture frame to place the item in there.

For example, we’re putting a green glowstone terracotta block inside the picture frame in this article. As mentioned before, you can place anything you want in a picture frame. If you want the item back, break the frame, and you’re good to go.Â

You can also adjust your item in the frame by right-clicking. Each time you right-click the frame, the item will be rotated by 45-degrees clockwise.
