ALL you need is a Drill and Jigsaw, though a circular saw helps.

I was inspired by a few other woodworkers to make us some simple wooden jack-o-lanterns. Our kids are now grown, so they no longer are interested in carving pumpkins, but we still like to have some displays up for trick-or-treat'ing.
I wanted to keep things simple so I tried to just use three simple tools: a Drill, a Jigsaw, and a small Circular saw. I did cheat and use an air nailer as well, but you can assemble all the parts using a regular hammer and nails.
For wood, I just used some (cedar) fence boards purchased from the home centre. If you want a rustic look, you could cut up a pallet, or find some old barn boards or similar.
Finally, I wanted to paint mine, since real pumpkins are orange.
I got some great ideas from these two videos.
They are definitely worth a look:
