Edit Steps
- 1Draw eight concentric circles, leaving a small circle that will serve as the labyrinth's center. (Concentric circles sit one inside the other and so on.) Label the circles from 1-8, starting with the largest circle as number 1.
- 2At the labyrinth's center, draw a flower-like pattern. This is like the center of most labyrinths.
At the labyrinth's center, draw a flower-like pattern. - 3Draw two horizontal lines and four vertical lines across the labyrinth, taking care to avoid drawing through the center. The lines should align with the middle of the labyrinth. The lines should be equally spaced apart.
Draw two horizontal lines and four vertical lines across the labyrinth, taking care to avoid drawing through the center. - 4Erase lines to make labyrinth pathways. Starting with the left horizontal line, erase lines in circles 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7. Erase a part of circle 4.
Erase lines to make labyrinth pathways.- When erasing, remember to make the pathway's size equal to the size of the spaces within circles.
- 5Erase the vertical line in the first circle, and leave the rest of them untouched. Erase parts of circles 3, 5 and 7.
- 6Erase the horizontal line in circle 7, and leave the rest of them untouched. Erase parts of circles 2, 4 and 6.
Erase the horizontal line in circle 7, and leave the rest of them untouched. - 7Erase the first vertical line from the left within circles 3, 4 and 7. Leave the second vertical line untouched. Erase the third vertical line from the left within circle 7, leaving the rest untouched.
Erase the first vertical line from the left within circles 3, 4 and 7. - 8the red line denotes where the error is, erase the red line and the labyrinth works.

- For circle 1, erase the part between the first and second vertical lines.
- For circles 2 and 6, erase the part between the first and third vertical lines, as well as some from the left.
- For circles 3, 5 and 7, erase the part between the first and third vertical line, as well as some from the right.
