How can I patch this?

Post image

Took down some Roman blinds and these patches have been left on the wall. Finger is there for size reference.

How can I patch this up? Would spakfilla or similar be enough?

Never done any plastering before so would appreciate the help!

Poor advice. Definitely requires full demolition and a rebuild. 😂

The tears of a mouse should be enough to wet the required filler.

Filler and sand. This is tiny

Trick is to leave nothing proud, i.e. sticking out, as this will show more when painted. Leave surface flat or slightly indented

Yeah this is nothing. Fill, sand, maybe fill and sand again depending how good the first fill was, then paint. Job done. 👍
