You've to make a strong edge to your shield, to let it hold it shape. In the meantime I got one made by a proffesional willow worker. Here you can clearly see some strong wooden poles on the side. Also this one is made to thicker willow.

When I've finished the one I'm currently working on (due to the time you need to get the stuff wet, I didn't manage to finish it, yet), I'm going to make another one with wooden poles on the edges and maybe out of some thicker willow.
As the best is that the shield is made in the right shape with a decent border, I don't know if making them from sheets will work.
