Paper Star

Here's a little project I completed this morning. I cut up an A4 piece of paper into eight equal rectangle and began eperimenting with how I could fold then tesselate the shapes. I achieved the design below.

I'm a little stuck as to what this shape could be used for. I thought it would look quite good as a lampshade but I feel there are other uses too. I tried out my lampshade idea in my room as I have a light which uses LED's and has plastic stars over the top. I removed one of the stars and put my design in its place. I do have one worry about the material being paper as I found the LED's were very hot when I caught the side of my thumb on the bulb! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
