Restore deleted Numbers folder?

I am a fairly recent émigré from Windows to the Mac (and very happy with the switch, I might add). When I first set up my iCloud account, I deleted the pre-existing Numbers and Keynote folders from iCloud drive, since I normally save my documents by subject and not by app.

Of course, I have now learned why the folders were there in the first place, and I need to get them back. I tried creating a folder named 'Numbers' and one named 'Keynote', but they didn't have the distinctive icon that the original folders had. So, I'm guessing they won't work as the originals did.

How do I restore the Numbers and Keynote folders in iCloud? Thanks

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

No sooner did I finish posting my question when I stumbled across the answer. I created an empty Numbers document on my iPhone, then I selected 'Share link via iCloud' on the iOS Numbers app. Sure enough, iCloud recreated the Numbers folder for me. Did the same thing with Keynote and got the Keynote folder back.
