Tried this recently: Hold the PS button and the Share button until the light bar starts blinking. Then use another controller to navigate to 'Settings' > 'Accessory Settings' > 'Manage Bluetooth Devices.' Select 'Register New Device,' then unplug your first controller to complete the pairing.

You can do it wirelessly by holding the PS button and Sync button until the lights blink. Then pair it in the settings menu on your PS3.
