Footer Sidebar

Hi,

I have this theme on my wordpress blog that I really like but it does not have a pre-configured footer sidebar. As in so I could add text and other stuffs directly to my footer through sidebar rather than going to theme editor. Is there a way to create a new sidebar for footer that does this kind of function? Please give a detailed step-by-step instruction guide.
