How Do I Get This Texture?

I want to make a cake with a fondant bow that has a corduroy texture. Could somebody please give me some ideas? I tried using the side of a ruler but that's too time consuming and not even enough.
An impression mat might be the easiest way to do it. http://www.cakesbysam.com/store/cart.php?target=product&product_id=21527&category_id=263
I use a ribbed rolling pin and before I got that I used to use a ribbed piece of copper curtain rail if you can lay your hands on it-very cheap.
I never thought of that, sounds like a great idea, I will have to check out the attic, I wonder what else I could find there to use on fondant, thanks
Thank you all so so much!! What wonderful ideas....will definitely use the tips.

Isn't it amazing how many "tools" you have to come up with on your own....

Oh yeah! Or else you'll end up spending so much money on tools you might not get much use out of!
