First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Brush
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a brush, place 1 feather, 1 copper ingot and 1 stick in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making a brush, it is important that the feather, copper ingot and stick are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 feather in the second box. In the second row, there should be 1 copper ingot in the second box. In the third row, there should be 1 stick in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a brush.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the brush will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Brush to Inventory
Once you have crafted brushes, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made a brush in Minecraft!
