Holes form in walls for various reasons. But we can all agree that these holes are very unsightly. See how you can clog them using just one item from your bathroom.
Holes in walls are better made than covered. They can arise, for example, from drilling a nail for a painting, and so on. But how to cover such an unaesthetic hole? Normally, the hole is filled by shooting putty into the hole and sanding it with sandpaper.
But unfortunately, only a few people know how to use this method. So how do you fix a hole in the wall so it goes away without having to pay for a professional to fill the hole for you? A little thing you have in the bathroom will help you with this.

How to plug holes in a wall
Of course, it depends on how big a hole you need to cover. If the hole is small, which means it was caused by a small screw or nail, for example, you can use this tool from the bathroom. However, if the hole is larger, you cannot apply this easy method to it, and you will have to use a plasterboard repair patch. And what do you use to cover those small and unsightly holes in the wall? Using white toothpaste!
It’s quite simple. Take white toothpaste, and then squeeze a little of it onto a toothpick, if the hole is very small, or if it is larger, squeeze a bit of the paste onto a cotton swab for cleaning the ears. Use a cotton swab or a toothpick to then push the toothpaste into the unsightly hole in the wall. Then spread the paste on the outside of the hole as well. This will ensure that there are no gaps anywhere.
Toothpaste against holes in the wall
Once you have the entire hole nicely filled, take something like a ruler or a knife, and carefully level the surface with the flat edge. Then wash off the excess paste from your chosen alignment tool.
And you’re basically done. Now you just have to wait for the toothpaste to dry. Once that happens, take a color that matches the color of the wall, paint it and voila. You managed to repair the hole in the wall yourself.
