This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a thing banner with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, thing banners are an important decoration item in your inventory and can be crafted in any color. These patterned banners have a Mojang logo on them. They can be used as a flag or to decorate a shield. To craft a thing banner, you will need to use a loom rather than a crafting table.

How to craft a Thing Banner in Survival Mode
1. Open the Loom Menu
First, open your Loom so that you have a Loom menu that looks like this:
There are 3 slots in the Loom menu so that you can add a banner, a dye and an optional banner pattern.
2. Add Items to make a Thing Banner
Next, place 1 banner, 1 dye, and 1 Thing banner pattern in the loom. You can choose any colors that you like. In this example, we will use a yellow banner and black dye.
The thing banner will appear in the box to the right (and a larger preview of the banner will also appear).
3. Move the Thing Banner to Inventory
Once you have crafted a thing banner, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
TIP:Â Be sure to move the Thing banner pattern back to your inventory as well. You can reuse the banner pattern again.
