In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make paper, place 3 sugar canes in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making paper, it is important that the sugar canes are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the second row, there should be 3 sugar canes. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for paper.
