This probably won't help those that have been doing this a while, so this is more for somebody with no experience to stumble upon. Drawers and the flat organizers were out at this point (see other comment replies), so jars looked attractive. But how large?
I set out to try to figure out how much space a 1000 bag takes up. Reported measurements of what holds 1000 pcs were a bit different across the board here, so I decided to calculate it myself. Since there's no way I'm counting out 1000 of these things, and probably the bags don't even have exactly 1000 pcs, I had her buy a bag of black. The idea was to make a little paper box and measure how much space they take volumetrically.
These are some cheapie spice jars we picked up from Winco, each under a buck. 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz. They didn't say if that's fl oz or oz weight of some specific spice, so I threw water in one and weighed it. It's fl oz.

These are all rough numbers. Containers probably vary slightly within a batch. The 4 oz was probably slightly overfilled and the 8 oz slightly underfilled, but it's close enough. Roughly 8 oz seems to be the winner for refilling before empty.

Also found these Perler brand 80-22816 storage jars and pre-filled 80-22826 neutrals/80-22825 pastels/80-22824 tropicals sets. They look pretty close to 100% full at 1000 beads, so I'm guessing they're roughly 6 fl oz. If I can find some square-ish plastic 8 oz jars at a similar price (for closer packing), I'll probably go with those. Otherwise, I'll just call it a day and go with the branded ones.
I like cylinder containers like these: (https://smile.amazon.com/Perler-Beads-80-22816-Cylinder-Storage/dp/B01LY02KTC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1542738611&sr=8-4&keywords=perler+tall+cylinder+storage\
I put them in a box half the height of the cylinders so I can see the colors without having to open the containers. I also like how you can label the lids so it helps a look when you are looking for a specific color :)
