It is likely that your image is being garbage collected before it is displayed. This is a common Tkinter gotcha. Try changing the lines:

button1 = PhotoImage(file ="button1.gif")
button2 = PhotoImage(file ="button2.gif")

to

self.button1 = PhotoImage(file ="button1.gif")
self.button2 = PhotoImage(file ="button2.gif")

and use

settings_button = Button(self, image = self.button1, command = self.mult_command, width = 15)

etc.

This should keep a reference to your image, stopping it from getting garbage collected.
