How to get little holes out of walls, HELP!?
I really want to take all the posters and stuff off my wall and move my huge dresser to the wall where all my posters were.
I've done this quite a bit, causing little holes (from the thumb tacks) almost everywhere on my walls.
I live in an apartment.. so this is kind of a problem.
Is there any way to fill the holes? I heard that toothpaste worked.. but I'm not totally sure.
Thanks in advance.
:)

Get some spackle from the home improvement store. Fill the holes with spackle, forming the spackle to resemble the wall and let it dry. The spackle might shrink in a little as it dries, so check to make sure there's no indention when it's done. Paint over the spackle. If you don't have paint the right color, most home improvement stores offer paint matching services. Make sure you get the same gloss level (semi, satin, flat, etc) and buy the tiniest, cheapest bucket available.
If the holes are small enough, the wall color is light enough, and you're careful with the spackle, it might not be noticeable enough to have to repaint, but I don't know how picky your apartment is about that.
