Life Hack: Egg and Toothpaste for Fixing Minor Wall Holes

Ingredients/Tools:

• 1 egg (just the eggshell)
• White toothpaste
• Toothpick or small flat tool
• Clean cloth or paper towel

Instructions:

1. Crack the Egg
   Gently crack an egg and carefully remove the shell. You only need a small piece of the eggshell—about the size of the hole in the wall. The eggshell will serve as the structural material for this hack.
2. Prepare the Hole
   Clean the area of the small hole in the wall, removing any loose debris or dust. The hole should be clean for the next step.
3. Apply the Toothpaste
   Take some white toothpaste and apply it directly into the hole, filling it halfway. Toothpaste works as a makeshift filler for small holes because it dries hard and blends well with white walls.
4. Insert Eggshell
   Place the piece of eggshell into the hole, pressing it in gently so that it sticks to the toothpaste.
5. Smooth the Surface
   Use a toothpick or a small flat tool to smooth out the surface, making sure the eggshell and toothpaste are even with the wall.
6. Wipe Away Excess
   Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe away any excess toothpaste around the hole.
7. Let it Dry
   Allow the toothpaste to dry for a few hours. Once it’s dry, you can touch it up with paint to blend it perfectly with the wall.
