Default patching holes

You're going to need like a thimble-full of something. I'd normally use
pre-mixed drywall compound (comes in a bucket). Spread it on with
something flat (a drywall "knife", a spatula, whatever), let it dry.
Run over it lightly with a clean, slightly damp sponge once or twice
(just a few swipes) to make it smooth. Let it dry again. Paint. But I
normally buy it by the bucket -- maybe it is available in smaller
amounts?

For just a few holes, you could probably just mix elmers glue with
flour or something... who knows?
