Why is my binding not working?

Question

My binding is not working and I can not figure out why. The data is there cause if i remove the commented code it work as intended. I guess i am missing some kind of reference?

XAML

<UserControl x:Class="Cthulhu_Keeper.Views.BulletElementView"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Cthulhu_Keeper.Views"
             mc:Ignorable="d" 
             d:DesignHeight="450" d:DesignWidth="800"
             DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
    <Grid>
        <BulletDecorator>
            <BulletDecorator.Bullet>
                <Ellipse Height="8"
                         Width="8"
                         Fill="Black" />
            </BulletDecorator.Bullet>
            <TextBlock x:Name="ElementText"
                       Text="{Binding Element.Text}"
                       FontSize="{Binding Element.FontSize}"
                       Margin="5,0,0,0"
                       TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
        </BulletDecorator>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Code

using System.Windows.Controls;

namespace Cthulhu_Keeper.Views
{
    public partial class BulletElementView : UserControl
    {
        Models.ArticleElement Element { get; set; }
        public BulletElementView(Models.ArticleElement element)
        {
            Element = element;
            InitializeComponent();
            //ElementText.Text = Element.Text;
            //ElementText.FontSize = Element.FontSize;
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Try this:

   public Models.ArticleElement Element { get; set; }

   . . .

   Element = element;

   DataContext = this;

or this:

   DataContext = element;

   . . .

   Text="{Binding Text}"
