    How to patch a hole in a wall

    If you can stick your finger in the hole it’s big enough for a patch. Find a patch kit containing all of the materials you’ll need (keep one around the house for future patch jobs) at your local hardware store. Place the drop cloth under the area you’re patching and you’re ready to go.
    1. Clean the hole of any loose drywall so the patch has a good surface to stick to.
    2. Stick the self-adhesive patch to the hole, smoothing it down with your hand or the putty knife.
    3. Put some spackle on the putty knife and place it in the center of the patch. Work the spackle out over the entire patch.
    4. Let the spackle dry for a couple of hours (if you use pink-tinted spackle it will be white when dry).
    5. Smooth the dry spackle with the sandpaper, then paint to match the wall.
