Clean the edges of the hole.
Place the patch and smoothen it out as best as you could so there are no creases or wrinkles.
Take some mud using your putty knife and push a lot into the area of the hole.
Once filled in, cover the whole patch with mud.

Slide the putty knife from the center outward to make it as smooth as possible.
Cover it with mud.
Cut drywall thats an inch and a half bigger on all sides than the square.
Rotate and do the same on the other sides.

After that, do the same steps for the presto patch.
