Boornsterhem Wapen (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Decal - Design Overview

This vinyl decal showcases the heraldic design of the Boornsterhem wapen, representing the former Dutch municipality in Friesland. The artwork centers around a shield, visually divided into two prominent colors: a vibrant red field and a rich green field, creating a striking contrast.

Design Elements and Symbolism

Dominating the center of the design are two crossed keys, positioned overall (crosswise), with their wards (the part that turns the lock) pointed upwards and converging. Above these keys, a delicate cloverleaf (trefoil) is placed, adding a touch of natural elegance. Below the keys, a "wasenaar," a heraldic figure resembling a rake, completes the composition.

The keys, cloverleaf, and wasenaar are not random elements. They are derived from the coats of arms of the historical grietenijen (old Frisian administrative regions) that made up Boornsterhem: Rauwerderhem, Utingeradeel, and Idaarderadeel. This signifies the unification and shared heritage of these former districts.

Colors and Context

The color scheme is equally significant. The red and green fields are a nod to the historical colors of Oostergo and Zevenwouden, the two ancient districts (gouwen) where the municipality was geographically situated. The entire shield is topped with a golden crown, featuring three leaves and pearls, further accentuating the emblem's historical significance.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
