I know there are already tons of tutorials on homemade monster hands but I figured I'd share my method. It's cheap, easy and very versitale....although it is a bit time consuming.

All you need is a few sticks, hot glue and wire coat hangers....plus finishing touches such as painting and corpsing. Basically all you do is go out and hunt for hand bone sized sticks and get to work.
First step is to cut your sticks to size. I use 14 sticks per hand. 4 sticks for the hand bones and 2 for each finger and thumb. I know a finger has 3 bones but 2 looks realistic enough for my tastes. Carve the tips of each finger tip bone to a point.

Start with the hand bones. Cut 4 sticks to start. Use your own hand as a guide. Drill 2 holes through the sides of each stick in parallel lines, then run a length of coat hanger through the holes to bind them.

Next you'll cut the finger bones and drill holes all the way through the center of them. Then drill holes through the center of each hand bone.
Then you'll cut lengths of coat hanger and shove them into the holes in the hand bones. Make them long enough to slip the finger bones over them.
