Often Times you may find a large hole in your drywall in need of repair. Here's how to fix it without a drywall repair kit:

Step 1: Cut scrap piece of drywall with utility knife into a rectangle or sqaure a little bigger than hole or damaged area. If you don't have piece of drywall handy yolocal hardware store. Use your piece of drwyall a a template place the patch against damaged area, and lightly trace around it with pencil. Carefully saw outlined area with keyhole saw.

Step 2: To hold wallboard patch in place, install small board about 6 inches longer than long dimension of hole. Put board into hole, center it horizontally, and hold it firmly against inside of wallboard. To help keep it there, fasten ends of board to drywall with flathead screws driven through wall at sides of hole; countersink screws below surface of drywall.

Step 3: Glue your patch into place using spackling compound or wallboard joint compound. Using a six inch putty knife spread compound on back of drywall patch and around edges. Try to get as smooth of a finish on your dry wall as possible. Set patch into hole and adjust it so it's exactly even with surrounding wall. Hold it in place until compound starts to set. Let compound dry at least several hours. Sand the dry wall to a smooth finish and you are ready to paint
