Sometimes it can be really difficult to get your needle felted items the right shape. Make sure when creating curves for example, you change the angle of your needle.
The wool will go in the direction of your needle, so as you go around a curve make sure your needle angle follows the curve you want to make.
However always bring your needle out the same direction it went in, or it can break.
Also study the angles of the shape you’re copying and look at how they relate to each other. Checking that your felted item match those angles.
