How to wrap a chickens foot by yourself?

I still wish someone would invite a squeeze for chickens
I've thought about it...haven't come up with anything yet.
I wear a long apron and use that like sling between my thighs while sitting in a chair,
it supports their body and holds the wings. Chickens head is near my knees, I sometimes drape a small towel over their head. This is always done at night, they will be calmer then, wearing a headlight.
 
I am wondering if anyone knows of a contraption that I can put my chicken in so I can care for it without another person?

does something like this exist?

I’m thinking like a baby swaddle? Haha

I need to wrap my chickens foot and it’s hard to find someone to help me.
I find it's easiest to sandwich them snug between your legs on their back if I'm doing it alone.
 
I haven't tried it on chickens (yet), but on my cats I use a mesh bag (designed for the purpose -- restraining during grooming or treatment). Online, just search for "cat mesh" ... actually, that'll probably get you there. It's not as good as a second person, but it helps a lot.

thx for the jeans idea and the apron idea. Even if my cat bag works on chickens, I'll probably be trying out those methods as well, when the time comes.
