To patch a small hole in drywall, you will need some basic supplies such as spackling paste or joint compound, a putty knife, sandpaper, and paint. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you patch the hole:

  1. Clean the area around the hole to remove any dust or debris.
  2. Apply spackling paste or joint compound to the hole using a putty knife. Make sure to fill the hole completely and smooth out the excess paste.
  3. Allow the paste to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Once the paste is dry, sand the area until it is smooth and flush with the rest of the wall.
  5. Apply a coat of primer to the patched area to ensure a smooth paint finish.
  6. Paint the patched area to match the rest of the wall.

Following these steps should help you effectively patch a small hole in drywall.
