How to make mazes

i got really bored in my Social Studies class last year (8th grade)
so i took some graph paper, and started making some random lines, and somehow, a maze appeared!
some credit goes to Cait Wolters (if anyone knows her)

Step 1: Stuff you need

some nice, heavy graph paper
I used mead 4 quadrille graph paper
if you have thin paper, the colors may bleed through
markers, in many colors (if you're making lots)

tried this using techsoft 2D design there are probably other computer programs like it and i find it makes it easier (especially for correcting mistakes)

Thank you, for making the ible that helped me find this site.  I should have said this long ago, but I forgot.  This was helpful, even though I don't make mazes anymore.

[erikos kostarikos]

[Vertigo666]

Yeah, that works too

[Flumpkins]

You can make your own at puzzlemaker.com.

[grundisimo]

could you possibly add a print out of it?

[Vertigo666]

Not sure I know what you mean

[grundisimo]

oh what i meant was scan it or something and post it so i can try to finish the puzzle

[Vertigo666]

Well... I don't have a scanner at home... I'll see what I can do, either at my dad's office or at the library. I will try to do that this weekend and keep you posted.

[grundisimo]

I just got the light bulb above my head! just do what you did for the red maze.

[casey321b]

if you get the lighting right and the camera angleled right you can take pictures of each paper.

[grundisimo]

how did you get it so you could solve it?

[ultrauber]

I went to that image in the first step then did right click - save image as. I just used paint to draw the lines.

[grundisimo]

I see young satchewan

[grundisimo]

I just barely found your comment. Sorry for answering so late

[ultrauber]

No problem.

[GorillazMiko]

looks like somebody has A LITTLE TOO MUCH time on their hands... haha

[Vertigo666]

Have you read the description? Losey teaches for like 20 mins and then gives us like 25 to "study".

[casey321b]

sweet!!!

[rikkdbomb]

i made these in 5th grade and to allow lots of people to play them id put them in a transparent paper protector (basically a 2 transparencies that make a little holder for paper) and then u can use dry-erase markers to play and then erase it.

[onlyonebowman]

my friend in 3rd grade used to make mazes but not as good these so now ill beat him out if he still makes thoes

[Vertigo666]

you could make money selling these...

[YummyPancakes]

Super sorry for the off-topic comment, but...
_{I just realized that you posted that comment on THE EXACT DAY, AT THE EXACT SAME HOUR, EXACTLY ONE YEAR BEFORE I joined Instructables. I just thought that that was kinda cool.}
Again, Mega sorry for the off-topicness of my comment.

[Vertigo666]

Ok, then...

[Ghetto Gun Maker]

[Vertigo666]

Nope. One of my friends got close. (I'm assuming the big one)

[Lowza]

[Chuck P.]
