Step 3: Cut out the inner circle
Now fold the circle in half so you can see the outline of the smaller inner circle you drew earlier. Cut out this semicircle - when you open it up you will have a full circle cut-out.

Step 4: Shape the edges of each panel
Create a shape you like for the edge of the lampshade and draw it in pencil for cutting.

To make sure each part was even, we cut one folded section at a time, and then we used what shape as a pattern to trace onto the following section, cut that out, and so on.
