I want a picture of this unicorn, that fills an A4 piece of paper

[lucysmam]

As in totally fills it, so that I can use the head shape as a template for dd2's birthday cake.

Is anyone able to make it fit properly? Or even better, the head without the horn? I've been trying on the laptop but can't get it to do what I want & my artistic abilities to actually draw it myself are none existent!

OK, here's what you need to do:

Open a new blank document.
Go to layout, then to margins.

Change all the margins to 0, then click on 'ignore'
Insert the image and right click on it. You should see an icon that says 'crop'. Click on it and crop the image as close to the unicorn image as you can go without cutting bits off.
Right click on the image and click on 'wrap text', then 'in front of text' or 'behind text' - this will enable you to move the image around the page more easily.
Now click on the image again and drag out one corner to resize to fill the page.

Good luck with the cake!

If you still can't do it, send me a pm with your email and I'll do it for you!

It's straighforward to remove the horn in Paint (click the start button and type Paint) using the eraser tool. You can then copy that from within Paint and follow SignOnTheWindow's instructions to create an A4 version

@SignOnTheWindow thank you! I'm just going to collect dd2 from playing at a friend's house this afternoon so have put the laptop away. I'll try again following your instructions either later on or in the morning.

@ThereIsIron thank you too, much appreciated.

I will make a different unicorn cake this year!

I mistook your thread title for one of the Christmas present buying threads! . Good luck with the cake.

@ThereIsIron @SignOnTheWindow I just wanted to say thank you to you both. I've managed to make it big enough that I can probably draw another cm or two round the edges so it's almost the same size as my tin :)

@lucysmam - brilliant! Hope the cake goes well and that your dd has a lovely birthday!
