Take a look at the NinePatchRect node: NinePatchRect — Godot Engine (3.1) documentation in English

You can also do it in a custom way using draw_texture calls in the _draw() function.

Thank you. That does explain how to draw them, but not how to create the sprites. I posted an answer with a link to a tool I made that helps create sprites that are optimized for NinePatch drawing.

If you want to export large elements that will be nine-sliced in another app such as Godot, you may find the Nine-Slicer app useful. Nine-Slicer on Steam

I’ve created a shader for that purpouse. You should try NinePatch react since it’s more performant, but for small scenes shouldn’t matter much.
