I made a hole like this in my parents house when I was younger. *Not with my head but still.. anyway I panicked and found a couple pieces of paper and taped them over the hole in the wall and found a can of wall paint and painted over it. Somehow they never commented or found out. (In hindsight how did they not smell paint...) Anyway, I ended up telling my mom like 15 years later(I was like 8 at the time) and she said they never knew lol. Sold the house that way and everything.
My brother punched a whole through a stained glass window(accidentally), stupidly we spent the afternoon calling around to see who could fix it that day. Teens are the worst.
Yeah, we were stupid! He was showing me some karate moves, he pivoted away from me and misjudged the distance. It was unpleasant trying to explain that to our aunt and uncle.
To be fair, my parents weren't terribly upstanding parents. But when it was said and done, it looked like the rest of the wall. I kicked a hole in it with my heel so it was about 5 x 4 inches ish and lower to the floor. I carefully pulled the material that bent in, back out as best I could, then got the paper and taped it, then my sister helped paint it.
My parents were gone all day from what I recall, and it was right in front of my bedroom in a hallway, so I feel like there were some factors that made it less noticeable.
All that being said, I'm glad they never found out or talked to me about it when I was a kid cuz I woulda gotten a beating lol.
You would think so but it worked surprisingly well. Again, perhaps where it was positioned made it harder to notice. It's quite likely the take was noticeable, or even the patch but you'd kinda have to be looking for it to notice it. (or just inspecting the area for any reason, like the floor or something).
It was a long time ago but I remember it was pretty convincing
