In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a lapis lazuli block, place 9 lapis lazuli in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making a lapis lazuli block, it is important that the lapis lazuli are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 3 lapis lazuli in the first row, 3 lapis lazuli in the second row, and 3 lapis lazuli in the third row. This should fill all of the boxes in the crafting grid.
