How to Create Shapes in CSS

Creating Shapes using CSS is mostly a trick to manipulate the HTML elments and render them as a shape.

Create Heart Shape in CSS

This trick involves positioning of multiple elements.
Create a square and rotate it by 45degree.

Then use pseudo element :before to create a circle and push it out from top by 50%.

Create Triangle Shape in CSS

This trick involves border-radius of the element.
Define width and height of the element as 0. And then add color to one of the border and to rest add transparent color, to hide them.

Moving the border color will change the direction of the triangle.
