I am trying to build a fairly simple GUI that will allow me to use GPIO pins on a Raspberry PI 3. I am using grid to place the labels, buttons and indicators on the gui. I want the indicators to look like LEDs. I'm trying to use canvas (and Oval) to create the indicators. I can't get the Canvas items to appear inside the grid. It places them outside (as if creating a new grid).
Here's the code snippet:

Here's the code snippet:
from tkinter import * import time import RPi.GPIO as GPIO LedPin1 = 11 # pin11 LedPin2 = 12 # pin12 Switch1 = 15 Switch2 = 16 class Application(Frame): """MyeVault BU Box Controller""" def __init__(self, master): super(Application, self).__init__(master) self.grid() self.create_widgets() def create_widgets(self): """Create widgets""" Label(self, text="Actions").grid(row = 0, column = 0) self.canvasPwr=Canvas(root, width=20, height=20, background='yellow') self.canvasPwr.grid(row=2,column=1) canvasLED=Canvas(root, width=20, height=20, background='green') canvasLED.grid(row=4,column=1) Label(self, text="Status").grid(row=0, column = 1) PowerLED = Label(self, text="Power LED", bg ="yellow") PowerLED.grid(row=1, column = 1) Label(self, text="HDD Activity").grid(row=3, column = 1) self.button_reset = Button(self) self.button_reset["text"] = "Reset" #self.button_reset (bg ="white") self.button_reset["command"] = self.Reset self.button_reset.grid(row = 1, column = 0) self.button_tapPower = Button(self) self.button_tapPower["text"]= "Tap Power Button" self.button_tapPower["command"]= self.tapPower self.button_tapPower.grid(row = 2, column = 0) self.button_holdPower = Button(self) self.button_holdPower["text"]= "Hold Power Button" self.button_holdPower["command"]= self.holdPower self.button_holdPower.grid(row = 3, column = 0)and here's the result:
