Bro, you just need a USB cable. Connect the PS4 controller to the PS3, hit the PS button, and boom!
Honestly, I don't recommend using a PS4 controller on a PS3. It works, but not all features like rumble and Sixaxis will function properly. I'd stick with the original PS3 controller.
If the USB route isn't your thing, try this: make sure your PS3 is powered on, then go to 'Accessory Settings' and 'Manage Bluetooth Devices' on the PS3. Hit 'Scan for Bluetooth devices' and hold the 'Share' and 'PS buttons' on the PS4 controller until the light bar starts flashing. When 'Wireless Controller' pops up on the screen, click it and you're all set!
