Creative Cutters has a new "pleater" out this year.The easiest way to do pleating would be to roll out your fondant and trim evenly.Using popsickle sticks(or similar round sticks) ,place one under fondant,on top on fondant bunt another stick up to the one under fondant,then keep alternating to create pleats.Push and mold the fondant around sticks.Let dry some before trying to move---not too much or it might crack.

Check out the articles tab on this site. There is a great one on pleated swags. I used the directions when I made my brother's wedding cake.

Best of luck!

There is a rolling pin that Global Sugar Art sells from Rosa's Designs I believe that will do the pleating for you.
If your doing it vertically I use dowels and let them it dry a bit for a bit and then remove them and it usually keeps its shape.
