**Introduction:**  
This video is a short tutorial I created for a problem my company has been asked about implementing several times that I couldn’t find an answer for until I started delving into Custom Elements.

**How I did it:**  
The video goes step by step from start to finish on why we use a Custom Element for this, how to create a custom element, how to pass it some data from the Velo page.js file, add the functionality for the end goal, and finally how to style it

**Tools, Documentation and APIs:**  
Wix Custom Elements Docs with examples: [Custom Element Introduction | Velo](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/wix-editor-elements/custom-elements/about-custom-elements)  
MDN Custom Elements Docs:  
[Using custom elements - Web APIs | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components/Using_custom_elements)
