Two easy methods on how to repair a hole in drywall yourself. The most important thing is that we will do this without complex tools and machines.

Method 1

  1. Take a piece of drywall and, with the help of a utility knife, cut out a piece slightly larger than the hole you want to fill, for example, a square.
  2. Outline the square with a pencil on the wall and then cut along the outline with a saw.
  3. Then, using drywall tape and joint compound, place it in the cut-out area and apply at least 2 coats of compound to level it.
