PORT ARTHUR, Texas \u2014 September 15, 2023 is the start of Hispanic Heritage Month and 12News will be sharing stories to celebrate the Southeast Texas Hispanic community.<\/p>\n

A Port Arthur<\/a> woman has built a business sharing her colorful pi\u00f1atas all over Southeast Texas.<\/p>\n

Pi\u00f1atas are a longtime Mexican tradition that can take on any shape or look. They can bring life to any party.<\/p>\n

The creative process of making beautiful pi\u00f1atas is a labor of love.<\/p>\n

“This is the first thing we do the cardboard, depending on design the people want. Let me show you, this is like number four,” said Owner of Creaciones Kris<\/a>, Kristel Sabel.<\/p>\n

She told 12News about the passion she has for her work.<\/p>\n

“You need to love it, it’s not just something you can just watch a video and see how it’s done. No, you need to like it so it can be a job you do with passion and love,” Sabel said.<\/p>\n

This passion was passed down from Sabel’s parents.<\/p>\n

Originally from Torreon, Mexico the family traveled all the way to Port Arthur. Sabel’s mother, Maria Luisa De Leon had her own store. The two women are proud to be a part of this tradition.<\/p>\n

“I feel proud that she came here to learn and what we taught her. I am just really proud,” said De Leon.<\/p>\n

Sabel has worked hard for \u00a0the past 10 years, gaining clients from every background.<\/p>\n

She completed another goal last year, getting her citizenship.<\/p>\n

“God has given me the opportunity to make me a citizen of this country, and I think things are going even better than before. I am dreaming of having my actual store,” Sabel told 12News.<\/p>\n

This is a dream she hopes to make a reality as she delights people all over Southeast Texas with a rich piece of Mexican history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to represent the Hispanic community here in Southeast Texas. I really like sharing my culture not only with other Hispanics but other people of other cultures,” said Sabel.<\/p>\n
