**Simple Patch-Up**: If the crack isn’t too big, you can just clean out the crack with a utility knife, then fill it with some spackling paste or joint compound. Once it’s dry, sand it down a bit and paint over it to match the wall. Easy peasy!

**Go for a Mesh Tape**: For wider cracks, you might want to use some mesh tape. Clean the area, apply the tape over the crack, then cover it with joint compound. Smooth it out, let it dry, sand it, and paint. It’ll hold up better than just spackling.
