Sounds like you’ve stumbled on a natural “treasure.” For a wind chime, just tie a thin wire or twine around the question‑mark branch, then add a few smaller sticks or twigs for balance. The leaves can be dried and sandwiched between layers of clear resin to make little wind‑blown lanterns. If you’re into a bit of DIY art, press the leaves between a glass and a sheet of wax paper, then cut out the shapes and attach them to a wooden frame to make a natural collage. Or, just hang the whole thing from a tree and let the wind do the rest—nature’s own music.

Nice, the clink is a good sign. To keep it steady, add a small flat stone or a chunk of wood under the base of the chime—like a little anchor. You can also spread the twine out, tying the branch to a crosspiece that’s screwed into a thick stick or a small metal bar. The heavier the base, the less it will wobble, and if you put a tiny weight on the other end of the twine, that keeps the center of gravity low. Give it a gentle shake and adjust until it feels solid.

Glad that worked out—just remember to keep the weight balanced so the whole thing stays steady and the clink stays sharp. Have fun watching it dance in the breeze!
