How can i fill the holes in a drywall?

Question

I started putting a closet in yesterday in my room, and everything was going great until i made a hole to big for the s***w. I've worked around it but the time where i can't anymore is coming real soon. So does anybody know how I can patch up the hole so i can try again?

P.S. Where i made the hole, is the only place i can make them, I can't go up, down, left or right, it has to be right there.

Answer 1

You could try some sort of toggle,or butterfly fastener. They come in all sizes.

Answer 2

Since that is the only place you can put the s***w at I would recommend installing a plastic slug in the hole.  They also make a metal slug that when you tighten the s***w in it it will compress and lock itself to the drywall.

Answer 3

Use drywall mud, or you could get an anchor for the s***w that will go in the hole you made.

Answer 4

If you're supporting it with this s***w then drywall mud probably won't cut it - something like an anchor is probably your best bet.
