Using a knife, scissors or power tool, cut out the shape from the floppy disk that you traced in the previous step.  I cut part of the metal shutter too rather than removing it altogether so that retains its floppy disk gestalt.  Check to make sure that the liner fits snugly through the opening.  I had to spend a fair bit of time shaving the inside edge of the floppy to get it to fit properly.

Take your time when doing this since the plastic can crack in the wrong places when your cutting it.
