Teen Makes American Flag Out Of 4,466 Plastic Soldiers

From a distance, Jacob Feazel’s patriotic school project looks like any other American flag. But if you get closer to it, you’ll realize it’s made of a unique material, so unique that the teen’s massive flag has gone viral.

The 17-year-old assembled the flag using 4,466 toy soldiers that he spray painted red white and blue. It took him 11 days to assemble them all onto the 4×6 foot base and ensure they were all glued in place. As to why he did it, he told WISH-TV, “The soldiers are what make the U.S. free, you know? They fight for us, so I figured it’s honoring them by putting them in the flag.”

Watch Jacob show off his flag in the video below, and share his incredible art project with your friends and family!
