Modular Floral Globe Tutorial - Now in Zebra

I finally found a new material to re-do the orb fixture I had previously crafted using poster board. The other day I was looking at things in Walmart and spotted something interesting: sturdy plastic place mats that happened to be in a zebra pattern (I'm kind of partial to all things zebra at the moment).

And the price was right, only $2 a piece. So I brought one home, and proceeded to work on enlarging the original pattern, because I was hoping to make a larger version of my first orb. Well, I was able to cut out 6 larger "happy hot dog men" out of that placemat, which sent me back to Walmart for 9 additional placemats (60 hot dog men make up the orb!).

After a few days of hard labor, all that tracing and cutting, yesterday I was able to finally put the orb together, what do you think?

And here it is, in its intended location, with the light shining, making up the pretty pattern on the walls...
