I need to create a simple polygon outline symbol like this

I've tried editing the symbol properties and can't figure out how to do it.

As you create this picture (symbol) in your question , create other one and save it to PNG extension.

then do the following as in the picture:

from layer properties go to symbology tab then click to your symbol to open symbol selector>edit symbol > outline > edit symbol > then choose picture line symbol from Type.

and brose for you picture.

that is all.

Abdullah,

Thank you for your suggestion. I'd not thought of making it a PNG. A great solution.

Since, I got to this point:

I thought that someone might be able to show me how to modify the marker symbol to be the size of wavy line I want.
