If the wall is white, you can use some stuff we found at Home Depot. It's a quick - and - easy spackling kid which doesn't require sanding or anything. If your wall is a different color you may have to paint over it, though. It takes about two seconds to fill a hole - good stuff.

You must have lived in one of the rooms in my house before I purchased. :)
Unfortunately you can't simply spackle as the hole is very small and when a tack is pulled it usually protrudes a bit.
What I did was use the ball end of a small ball peen hammer and made a very small dimple over the hole. Then when you wipe spackle over it will fill easily...may take two coats though.

You can try plain white toothpaste, if it is a white wall. Otherwise, try to find the right match for the paint color... cover with toothpaste, then a little bit of paint blotted over it. Be sure after blotting the paint you try to fade the edges a bit so it's not noticeable. Good Luck!

They sell small containers of spackle at the home depot or lowes, a putty knife and some light grit sandpaper or a 3M pad and your ready! I have also heard toothpaste if the holes are just thumbtacks size.

get a little tub of Spackle and a putty knife. The guys at the hardware store can tell you how to apply it. Fill in the holes, lightly sand after it's dried and then paint.

Well, I know that for white walls white tooth paste did the trick! Maybe you could blend a little green paint with the toothpaste until its the exact color of your wall. It worked for me! My bedrooms a light blue :) good luck!

I would suggest using some polyfilla (squeezy tube with angled end is best) to fill the holes and then paint over. Sand polyfilla if necessary before painting. Worked for my house.

If they are pin holes, then a good quality paint should do the trick...
Toothpaste, as said earlier,,is the easiest and most handy since we have it in the house (not the gel type tho)
