My friends and mine Akatsuki cosplay at AnimeNorth 2007!!
My cosplay was Deidara. All of the cloaks worn by my friends were made by me - thats right, 6 Akatsuki cloaks!!
NEVER AGAIN >_< too much sewing!!
I made some of the accessories for the other costumes as well (Kakuzu's head scarf and face mask, and Kisame's hat and "Samehada" sword), but everything else was made by the boys, with help from the group.
The whole project was lots of fun to do, albeit a bit stressful at the end
Our Hidan also had a side gig as Pein at FanExpo 2007

Awesome! Me and seven friends did the same thing for the last day of A-level earlier this year. We each had our jobs, such as one person doing all the cloaks for everyone, another did hairstyles on the day, another did weapons, I did the headbands... It didn't all turn out quite as well as this, especially with the cloaks and weapons, but it was still hilarious being Sasori for the day.
If I may ask, what would one wear underneath an Akatsuki coat if they wanted to accurately impersonate an Akatsuki member, but no member in particular??
I did the mouths on Deidara's hands with felt. Red and white for the tongue and teeth, cut out and glued onto a black felt that had adhesive on the back of it. So all I had to do was stick the adhesive side onto my hands, and it would stay there all day.
There's probably lots of ways to do the mouth hands of Deidara, but this was a really cheap and easy solution that still looked really good (you can only see that its felt when your up close to my hands)
Its okay don't worry ^^ - oh thats quite simple then, I was thinking about maybe doing a Deidara cosplay when I can afford either the materials or a good cloak... - thanks!
Sorry I didn't see this comment for so long!
