There are a couple of ways that I to do them... I use a tubular hoop. Or I have used a 270 cap frame... For this you have to loosen the straps up and fold the brim of the sides of the bucket... Then hoop it just like you would a regular cap. Hoop Tech and others do make a frame designed just for buckets.... I would someday like one... But until such time I don't get many bucket requests and cross my fingers allot.

I tried the flat hoop but it took a while to get it straight. Do I just need more practice?
