In a ready-folder on the desktop keep an icon prepared to impose on a folder that actually should look like an archetypal file folder, but one you've found on the net that's much more pleasing than the Mac blue rectangle. That means you can add text to a picture in an image editor and then use the enhanced image as an icon. And it doesn't even require an icns-format image any image will work.
