Go to a toy store or look around garage sales, and find a porcelain doll. The frillier the dress and the cutesier the thing in general, the better. Then make a marionette out of it by tying fishing line to the arms and legs, maybe the head, and the other ends to a marionette controller. That seems diabolical enough for Sasori.

They sell plastic Wakizashis at the dollar tree. Or you can also fold some poster board together to form a hard molding in a shape of a blade and then paint it.
Honestly... its just a stick.

You could try getting a creepy rag doll.

My mom used to collect porcelain dolls.
That, and she bred fish.
I had a wierd childhood.
But she let me have a snail!
And then it reproduced with itself....
A lot.
And then I had lots of snails!
And then they died. :/

Yeah. Snails are breeding machines. My boyfriend's 50 gallon tank is swarming with these tiny little cone-shaped snails. There's about three per inch when the lights are turned off. When the sun's out, though, they're nowhere to be seen. It's really weird.

Daisya's bell is going to be a bit tough. My dad says that its possible to sauder(sp?) tin foil so that's going to be my best bet. Then there's version two where I glue foil together... I'm hoping  don't have to resort to that...

By curiosity, what's the best prop you've ever seen?

I have to make a sword/stick. I've never made a real intricate prop before. Davy's sword was just venitian blinds, PVC pipe, and foil with hot glue for texture XD; Something actually detailed is kind of a scary idea for me. Plus it has hair!
