Take the pieces of drywall that you removed earlier and put them back into the holes. Secure these original pieces with 1½-inch drywall screws.
With the backing installed and the holes patched, it's time to conceal your work. Start by covering the seams around the patches with either paper drywall tape or fiberglass mesh tape. This step is necessary to help prevent the joints from cracking open later.
