Tail Weight

Hang a plant or headphones out from a bookshelf

A cantilever held up by your books. Slide the thin tail under the last few books on a shelf, and the arm reaches out past the shelf edge to hang a small trailing plant, headphones or a tote; the weight of the books on the tail balances the load on the arm, no screws or clamps.
