If you have a vertical, weighted holder, I just wedge in a large mitt or a couple pot holders in the vacant space. Some use rubberbands, but that never worked for me.
I stand mine with a vertical stand inside a half crate to box out the wind. I used a small crate from Michaels, drilled a 1" hole for my dowel (which I also purchased at Michaels), and I use the box to block the wind and I can keep it vertical or I can lay it flat-- depending on what I am doing at the time.
