2. Attach the drywall to the studs. Use a stud finder to locate the studs in your wall. Attach the drywall to the studs using drywall screws. Make sure to drive the screws in at an angle so they don't pop through the front of the drywall.

3. Joint the drywall. Apply joint compound to the joints between the drywall panels. Use a putty knife to smooth out the joint compound. Let the joint compound dry completely.

4. Sand the joint compound. Once the joint compound is dry, sand it down until it is smooth. Use a fine-grit sandpaper to avoid damaging the drywall.

5. Prime and paint the drywall. Prime the drywall with a coat of paint primer. Let the primer dry completely. Paint the drywall with the color of your choice. Let the paint dry completely.
