cantilever

Hello all! I need to construct a cantilever to be attached to a wall to support a weight out of two sheets of 11x17 paper, glue, paper clips, and tape. I was thinking the best way to do this would to be laminating strips of the paper into triangular tubes and connect them using the paper clips to make a braced as pins and attach it to the wall with the tape. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how best to determine the angle for the brace.
