Note: Illustration A, Illustration B, available using  Repair tiny holes in a fiberglass screen by applying a few drops of "super" glue.
To repair a larger hole, make a patch from leftover screening that is large enough to cover the hole. Coat the edges of the patch and the area around the hole with a thin coat of glue, then press the patch over the hole (illustration A, click above to view).
Seal tiny holes in an aluminum screen with a few drops of waterproof glue, such as epoxy. To repair a larger hole, first cut the hole square with scissors. Then cut a patch of matching screening about 2 inches wider and longer than the hole.
Pull several strands of wire out of each edge and bend the remaining wires down over the sides (illustration B, click above to view). Position the patch evenly over the hole and work the wires through the screening. Turn the screen over, pull the patch tight and bend the wires down against the screen.
