I made this arrow using a tool in Illustrator CC last night, but now I can't remember how I made it?

Here is the arrow:

I believe I made a curved line and then somehow, clicked a button or something, and the arrow was already in the line. That or I used a specific tool or button to place the arrow and then curved it.

It's really getting under my skin that I can't recall out how I did it.

    Those are brushes.

    I didn't download, borrow, or manually make this arrow. It's in the default program. Illustrator CC 2015.

    I've looked anywhere I can think to look and I still can't find it. If any of you guys could commit 2 minutes to check as well, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Sure is. I'm honestly amazed that I somehow overlooked it every time I scanned each arrow. I guess I was looking for a red arrow.

    Maybe it's been an art brush that you applied to a curved path.

    How would I go about recreating it?

    I didn't manually make that arrow, It's a default preset included in the original installation somewhere within the program. I just can't find it, and even if I did, I'm not sure I could recreate that arrow.

    First inspect the file you have. Maybe the brush is still live and you can edit it.

    Then search for it in all your brushes libraries. Please read about brushes and brushes libraries in the documentation.
