An easy and cheap way to make some hand is to get some rubber gloves turn them inside out and then fill then with great stuff foam. Fill the fingers first and then the rest. Do a search on here for a post with links and more how to info.

Here's something I did that could easily be tweaked to make hands with flesh:

For the skeletal hands: Trace out your hand on a piece of paper. Then Google a picture of a skeleton hand and draw out the structure of the bones onto your drawing. Shrink down the image to match her size. Then place wire to the lengths of the five fingers. Tape to hold in place. Wrap a pipe cleaner around each finger so the Model Magic will have something to grab onto. Using your hand as a model bend into your desired shape. In the picture, this is the hand she will be resting her head on.

Grab a finger-sized piece of Model Magic and smash onto a finger and squish down and shape to resemble bone. Do that for the whole hand. Let dry overnight. Stick into some leftover foam and coat with Drylok. Let dry and do another coat.

Attach her hand with wire to the inside of her sleeve or arm (whatever works).

Here is the tut for the rubber glove hands. I think I am going to give it a try next year because I am adding a Micheal Meyers to my display too.
