Made for someone
I make every rug to order, for the person who asked for it, so none of these are for sale. They are here so you can see what I do.
See one you like? I will make you your own, in your size and your colors.
Tell me your ideaPick a size
Drawn here to scale, so you can see what you are actually getting. A 3 by 3 covers nine times the floor a 1 by 1 does, and it takes about that much more yarn. Odd shapes, runners, and desk mats are all fair game.
These numbers are where custom pricing starts. It moves with how much detail is in the design and how many colors it takes.
Not sure what size you want? Send me the idea and I will tell you what it wants to be.

Hi, I am Alonna
Rugs Not Drugs started as a side hustle and turned into the part of my week I look forward to most. Every order is a chance to make something I have never made before, and I like seeing what people come up with.
I draw each rug out by hand, then make it with a tufting gun that punches yarn into fabric one line at a time. After that it gets glued, backed, and trimmed by hand in my Tuscaloosa studio.
Put it on the floor, or hang it on the wall like the art it is. Your call.
What people say
She helped me turn half an idea into a real design, sent me options, and walked me through the sizes. She was straight about the price from the start. Easy the whole way through, and I love how it came out.

Quick answers
How long does a rug take?
It depends on size. Most 2 by 2 rugs are done in about a week once I start. Bigger or more detailed pieces can take up to two weeks. I work orders in turn and I will tell you when yours is up.
Can I buy one of the rugs on this page?
Those were each made for someone, so they are spoken for. I can make you one like it, in the size and colors you want. Tell me which one in the form.
Can you make any design?
Almost anything. Characters, team stuff, pets, your own drawing. Send a picture and I will tell you what will read well as a rug and what might need simplifying.
Floor or wall?
Both. Every rug gets a backing so it lies flat on the floor, and they are light enough to hang. Tell me which one you want and I will say the best way to put it up. Plenty of people treat them as art.
Do you ship?
Yes, anywhere in the US, and shipping is part of the quote I send you. Local pickup in Tuscaloosa is free.
How do I pay?
Venmo, Cash App, or cash at pickup. Every rug takes a deposit up front and the rest when it is done.
How do I take care of it?
Vacuum without the beater bar, spot clean with mild soap and water, let it dry flat. Do not put it in the washer.
