Make a Poster by Printing a Large Image on Multiple Pages | Draw it Too Vlog

- Ever wanted to turn one of your photos into a large poster that you can hang on your wall?
In this video I show you how, and all you need is your high-resolution image, Microsoft Excel, paper, scissors, glue, and of course a printer.
Here is the basic method:
1) Open MS Excel and insert your high-resolution image.
2) Change the view mode to "Page View" then stretch your image to the desired size. You'll be able to see how much paper you will use up if you zoom out.
3) Print it!
4) Cut the excess flaps (the white borders), but not all of them -- you'll want to use some of those flaps for gluing.
5) Glue each page one sheet at a time.
And ta-da! That's all there is to it!
Of course I go into a lot more detail in the video. Though I do want to mention that you MUST use a large, high-resolution image to keep the poster nice and sharp. Enlarging a small, low-resolution photo will result in a blurry, pixellated poster.
I'd love to see what posters you create with this method. Feel free to post it in the Google+ Community!
Happy drawing,
Ramny

Thank you so much for this tip. I never imagined Excel would save the day in such a simple way.
Thanks for this video!! I'm making a cardboard cutout of Dave Filoni and Chopper for my little brother for Christmas, and so many people were manually cropping and fitting-to-page for similar projects, I knew there had to be an easier way. I'll be sure to send you a picture of the finished product when I'm done!!
It's scary and impressive how the search algorithm work . I typed misspelled unrelated words and ended up here
Bestiony Foudili didn’t ever. Work y’all are lying
@@swedishtuners6518 I didn't literally type "misspelled and unrelated words "
I simply typed" how to print a poster in many pages "
Omg same 😆
“Big paper from small paper “
Great! Do you know how to mirror the large image so I can transfer it onto something?
You SAVED me 4 hours of trying to figure out how to enlarge a photo and print! Thank you so much!

Hey Ramny, Loved this video! Your demeanor is so lovely! Thank you for this video. It's going to be a game changer for getting my watercolors set up faster for the fun part, painting! : )
PERFECT!!!!! thank you for this great tip, great instructions!
If you have the updated version of Excel, this still works BUT you've gotta go to the tab "View" and then click "Page Layout" to get to the view he shows in this video.
(I thought it would be under the TAB "Page Layout" and spent a lot of time not finding the view he shows in this video. lol) Good luck!
How did you find it? I have no options 😢

Great tip. Thank you very much.
This is sooo great thank you
great tutorial thanks mate
hey, i just wanted to print a periodic table for our final exam that the school supplied as a word doc. it was really tiny, so i thought i'd just double the size. which turned out to be weirdly hard. so i found this, then saved the word doc as a pdf. dropped the pdf in excel, like you suggested. i'm on an apple so i had to do it a bit differently, but yay. tiny periodic table details are visible. now for the final.
Never thought of excel, top tip ;-)
You totally saved me today ❤️❤️
Thanks man!
thank you! this is perfect, I will be making life size princess standup cut out. THANK YOU THANK YOU
