I added stenciled flowers to a plain burlap lampshade using craft paint. The lamp’s French-style base had enough detail, so I kept the pattern on the shade small.
The lamp before the stenciling
The lamp and shade cost $20 at Marshalls when I bought them before Christmas.
A few flowers instead of an all-over pattern
Our bedroom had plenty of decoration, so I held back from covering the entire shade. The floral stencil added a detail while leaving most of the burlap visible.
If you want an attached embellishment rather than a painted pattern, my white lampshade with a poppy accent uses a flower and ribbon.
