I have done this repair many times. It can be used for small holes as well as larger holes
Place a peice of wood about two inches bigger than the hole in side the hole behind the sheet (sheep) rock. You secure the wood to the sheetrock by screwing a couple of screws on each end through the existing sheetrock and into the wood. This will hold the wood in place behind the hole so that a peice of sheetrock can be secred to the wood. The hole is now closed. Apply joint compound, paper tape then sand in between joint compund coats paint it and pass this tip on to others.
