I'm had reasonable success at this. You can purchase a product calling "popcorn ceiling" or something like that at most hardware stores (I think I went to Totem).

You can buy a special roller to roll the stuff on...I had absolutely NO luck with this roller...the stuff splatters everywhere and it is very difficult to get an even application/ blend the patch in.

The best results I found was to use an old paintbrush and "dab" the popcorn ceiling in place. This way you have good control of the application and can get a pretty even/blended application.

If you are patching an older ceiling, the patch will likely appear much whiter than the surrounding ceiling. I painted my ceilings afterwards, and ended up with a pretty seamless result.
