## Add Different Padding to Each Side of an Element
<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds -->
To adjust the padding of an element use:
```css
.example {
padding: 10px;
}
```
To specify padding sizes on an element by individual sides we can use padding-top, padding-right, padding-bottom, and padding-left. We can use any of these in combination and in any order. For example:
```css
.example {
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
```
Or:
```css
.example {
padding-top: 20px;
padding-left: 25px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
```
