To celebrate the holiday last weekend, John T. Unger set out to make something that screamed “AMERICA.” Well, it doesn’t get much more American than this: A 10×16 American flag created from nailing over 20,000 Budweiser caps. “What I loved about the project,” Unger wrote, “Was how iconic it was – you can’t get more American than Bud caps. Bottle caps have long had a place in the folk art tradition as a decorative element. I love that the artwork traveled from coast-to-coast. Whatever your idea of America is, I think this piece speaks to that. This goes beyond Made In America: it’s a sculpture Made of Americana.” Check out this amazing piece of patriotic art below.
