I'm directly translating from Eng so I'm wondering if 作るworks. I'm only familiar with ~と友達に成りたい ＆ 友達ができたい。

You might consider asking a separate question about できたい as well. – snailplane♦ Mar 22 '18 at 13:34
No problem.
「友達{ともだち}を作{つく}る」 is a very comon phrase meaning "to make (new) friends".
As always, just be careful with your particle choices.
「友達になる」
「友達ができる」
Among the three particles in bold above, no two are interchangeable.
