Introduction to CSS border examples

Hi guys, today we will talk about…


BORDERS!

The CSS border is something that you will


most probably use almost every day, if
you’re front-end developer, of course.

I’ve found a few useful (some more, some


less, some just funny) tips and tricks
that you can use in your project.

Let’s start!
If you prefer video here is the youtube
version.

1. Animated CSS border

What to do when we would like to make our


item more visible?

Let’s animate it!

We can animate our borders, even without


changing the size of the element, and
it’s very easy.

To do that, we just need to create a


custom keyframe for the animation and use
it in the animation param inside our
element’s CSS code.

Let’s take a look at the example:

2. CSS Border images

Have you ever imagine donuts around your


element?

Now you can add them by pure CSS without


too much effort.

To do it, you need to use the border-


image attribute in your element’s CSS
code.

Let’s take a look at the example:

3. Snake style CSS border

What if we need a double-color ultra


visible border?

We can wear a snake uniform and color it


however we want.

Let’s try the code from the example:

4. Stairs Style CSS border

Have you ever tried to add 3d style


border around your div?

Adding some multi-color depth into our


element is very easy. We simply need a
few box-shadows in the CSS.

Let’s test our example!

5. Only shadow CSS border

Sometimes we need to add a border to the


ready design, but adding a few more
pixels would be a bit problematic.
It could change the position of the
elements.

Not anymore!

Now we can use box-shadow around our


element as a border, take a look in the
code.

6. CSS border with shadow and outline

We can achieve a similar effect to the


snake-style in a few ways.

Next, one of them is mixing box-shadow


and outline param in the CSS of our
element.

Let’s take a look.

7. Few shadows and outline css border

We can even create a few colors and


elements in our border.

To do that, we need to mix box-shadows


and outline, like in the example below.

Let’s experiments with that a bit.

8. Double CSS border with box-shadow

We can also mix just a border with some


box-shadow and outline.

That will create a lovely effect of a


line with spikes, like in the example
below.

Let’s check the code!

9. Multi-color CSS border

And what if we would like to color our


borders a bit more than in the previous
examples?

We can even set up every wall of the


element in a different color.

To achieve that, we will need some custom


background with the gradient inside.

Take a look at the example below.

Conclusion of CSS border examples

Ok, it was the last one of the ideas for


now.

I hope you like them, and those few will


be useful for you.

Feel free to test them, experiment, and


show in comments what ideas you found to
make borders different.

Congratulations, you are the borders


expert now!
