Thank you! Your video came in handy. I used a similar method for an outdoor labyrinth 5 years ago, and this time I used tape on a gym floor. I also made my own tape dispenser! Modified a normal packaging tape dispenser from Ace Hardware ($13.00), added an old hockey stick and voila!
Yaayy! I'm so excited to have found your channel! As an artist, currently renting part of a out of use church as my workspace, I'm thinking of creating a labyrinth in the space where services were held. This helps a lot for preparing this plan! (This one, and the 5 circuit Chartres style how to vid). Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Lars, for this informative and inspiring lecture on labyrinths. It is a great place for anyone with questions about labyrinths to begin to find the answers. I especially appreciated the story of your personal journey woven into becoming a top notch labyrinth builder. It articulates how labyrinths can heal, guide and reflect back to us that which we need to learn along the path of life. ~ Lauren Artress
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am currently creating a labyrinth art installation, and have found this video very helpful. I am wondering if you have attached the tape runner to something and if so what you recommend using? Thanks in advance!
I was given my tape roller by my mentor Robert Ferre who created it by fastening a painter's pole to a hand tape roller. His website has instructions about how to do this: labyrinth-enterprises.com/tapemachine.html You can also buy a ready-made one and there are several on Amazon, but the best I have found and used is the Tape Runner from ToolLab. It works great but unfortunately the shipping cost can be almost as much as the roller! www.toollab.com/tape-runner-3-wide-floor-tape-dispenser/
@@simplygrace5967 low residue masking tape. The most popular is blue painter's tape, but there are other colors too depending on the store. Each tape has a rating of how long it can last without leaving residue. Low residue is also generally weaker, so also less likely to damage sensitive floors. But the weaker the tape, the harder it has holding the tight turns and may not stick well depending on the surface.
@@DiscoverLabyrinths Hi again, thank you for this. I am wondering if you might be able to send me a link to the ready made tape roller on Amazon, as I wasn’t able to find it. If you also have a link for the tape, that would be very helpful. Thank you in advance 😃
Just discovered this and I’m creating a labyrinth with solar lights, do you know more or less the length of the tape roll so I can guesstimate how long strands I need? I realize it’s a longshot since it’s an older video but here’s my fingers crossing 🤞🏼
This is amazing. I would like to create such a labyrinth for my upcoming exhibiton as it takes place on the world labyrinth day. The Stick you used - what is it called? Did you create it by yourself or can I buy it via Amazon? Thank you for sharing this video!
It's called a tape runner and I used to buy them from ToolLab, but haven't seen them available recently. I saw one on Zipup.com called a Floorboard Tape Dispenser, but haven't purchased one from them yet
I've been looking at gym floor tape applicators but I haven't found one that looks as easy to maneuver as the one you're using. What brand and model is yours? Thanks!

It is pretty easy to make a real labyrinth. This isn't really correct, but still turns out almost like a labyrinth. Good enough, but seriously...a little studying and you can see how easy it is to make a real one instead of this one.
This is a real labyrinth. It's actually a 3-Circuit classical with a spiral center called a ChakraVyuha. If by real, you mean the 7-Circuit classical, that is the oldest forms but there are lots of variations on labyrinths

"it is just a spiral!" says skeptical me.... and then he starts ripping it apart and my jaw drops!!!!
Ditto!
Thank you! This is so awesome! I needed a labyrinth in a hurry and you just made my day with your incredibly helpful video!!
That was so much fun. I love what you do.
oh my gosh, THANK YOU FOR THIS!! Very cool.
Very cool, thank u...
Hoping to create one soon
Thanks your demonstration was so clear and helpful!! I made one for our library kids program!
Awesome 👏
What so good!!!!!
I've been searching for this forever. Thanks a million times 😁
You're very welcome!

Oh my gosh, I would fall over trying to make those circles.
slow and steady is a good approach as well!
This is incredible! Where do you find the handle for the tape??
Thank you for sharing this video.
I don't know where to get that wheel to make it circular in an easy way.
It is a 3" wide tape runner from Toollab
Can I ask what you used to dispense the tape other than a usual dispenser?
Awesome. Thank you. I’m going for it!!
What is the tool he’s using?

I can not find it on tool lab with the handle. Does the hand held tape dispenser have the option to screw any roller handle into it??
Where can I get a tape gun like that?

a tape roll is 60 yards, so I think you could do it with that. Depends on how big your loops are and the width of the pathways.. .
What kind of tape are you using? I'm concerned about lifting the varnish or otherwise damaging the floor surface in any way

It looks like a spray paint holder. I got mine from Lowes

Hi Carolyn. The best I have found is made by Toollab and is called the TAPE RUNNER™ - 3" WIDE FLOOR TAPE DISPENSER.

What is that tape tool and where do I get one?
