Remember I said that we used to access the attic thru a simple hole in the ceiling of the master bedroom closet?
We haven't done much sheetrock work lately - but we found an old piece (leftover from the main bath renovation several years ago, I suspect). Screwed that up to fill the hole permanently.
Taped and mudded it.
The next day, after the taped area was dry, I did a "skim coat" over the entire surface....getting ready to try to apply some "texture" to make it match the original ceiling texture.
My tool was high-tech!!! A grocery bag wadded up in my fist!
I dipped the grocery bag in the wet spackling and proceeded to touch the wet skim-coat over and over until I had a good imitation of the surrounding ceiling.
And this probably doesn't look much different...but it's complete with all new ceiling paint. Since it's just the ceiling in a closet, I think the pattern is close enough!

That's a good match. I redid the ceiling in a rental with a "real" spackling tool. Just a round brush that you spatter it with. Mine needed a repetitive round pattern but turned out good too.
well, mine really should have had that repetitive round pattern too....but this worked well enough! next time i'll borrow your tool! :-)
You did a great job...no one will know it was ever there...
Love,
