Mathieu, try rounding the edges. The way I have always done this is that
there are no straight lines, just two curves. If you want a symmetrical
shape it's important to make sure both sides of the wedge pattern are
symmetrical. It's also very important to cut the foam with a blade at a 90
degree angle. I usually glue wedges together two at at time, then combine
the twos and finally put the two halves together. Another trick I have found
is rather than leave two seams unglued for a mouth, make a complete ball and
then cut the space for the mouth out of it.

I hope this helps,

- Andrew
