How to easily create arrows using Title

I've seen several articles on the internet about creating arrows with "title" that involve lots of manual steps. I current use snagit to create arrows and then include the updated png in my timeline but it's awkward.  Is there an easy way with Premiere to create arrows like in my image below to create arrows as titles? I'd like to create them of different sizes, different head sizes, sometimes straight, sometimes bendy, sometimes double ended, sometimes single ended. It would be a huge help for me that now involves a bunch of out of band updating for me.

    I would use the Pentool for the curve and the Wedge Tool for the arrowhead.

    You can even distort the arrowhead under the Properties.

    Then save them as Templates.

    Thanks Ann.  I see the pen tool in my left side toolbox (title), but not the Wedge tool.  How do I get that?  Also, could you post a couple words about "save as template".  I think everyone but me knows what a template is and how to save one.  -thanks again.
