You need to add the fileId of the folder you want to create your new folder in as parents parameter in the metadata.

file_metadata = {
    'name': 'Invoices',
    'mimeType': 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder'
    'parents': 'FOLDERID'
}
file = drive_service.files().create(body=file_metadata,
                                    fields='id').execute()
print 'Folder ID: %s' % file.get('id')
