@pixouls I use my soldering iron stand often. Perhaps they could lend you one? A ceramic thing could do to contain it in a pinch, but lead exposure could make that tricky to borrow.

Otherwise, a scrap of wood with a little hole in it and some coat hanger wire should be able to make ya a stand. A search for diy soldering iron stand can bring up instructions.

If you fill it with sand or something heavy, you may be able to use a soda can, depending on the iron length/shape.
