Whether it's from a stray ball, a door knob, or something else, repairing drywall is a fairly easy fix. Steps to patching a ceiling drywall hole 

Here are the supplies and steps you'll need to take to patch a hole in your drywall:

• 1. Begin by cutting a piece of drywall that's slightly larger than the hole. You'll want to use a razor knife for this. 2. Affix the drywall to the wall or ceiling with drywall screws. Make sure to screw it in tight so that it's level with the surrounding area. 3. Apply joint tape over the seams of the drywall. This will help to reinforce it and make it less likely to crack. 4. Once the joint tape is in place, apply a coat of drywall mud over it. Use a putty knife or trowel to spread it evenly. 5. Allow the mud to dry completely. Once it's dry, sand it down so that it's flush with the surrounding area. 6. Apply a coat of paint to the area. Use a brush or roller to apply it evenly. Allow it to dry completely before using the area.
