Question: How do you fix a hole in the ceiling?
Option 0: Scrape off the ceiling texture 2 inches beyond the perimeter of the hole with a putty knife. Apply drywall compound around the hole with a butter knife. Use scissors to cut a piece of plastic mesh patching material to fit over the hole, sizing the patch to extend 1 inch beyond the hole.
