Here’s some information I had about this:

1) MADE OF= This phrase is used to describe the material or substances that something is composed of.

Example: The table is made of wood.

In this example, "wood" is the material that the table is composed of.

2) MADE FROM= This is used when the original material has been changed in some way into something else.

Example: Paper is made from trees. (tree transformed into paper)

Wine is made from grapes (grapes transformed into wine)
Yogurt or cheese is made from milk (milk transformed into yogurt or cheese.)

3) MADE WITH= This phrase implies that a particular material or tool was used in the process of creating something, but it might not necessarily be the primary material.

Example: The cake is made with chocolate.

This means that chocolate was used as an ingredient to create the cake, but the cake itself is not entirely composed of chocolate.

4) MADE OUT OF= Similar to "made of, " this phrase is used to describe the primary material that something is composed of. However, it often suggests a more significant transformation.

Example: The sculpture is made out of recycled metal.

Here, the metal used in the sculpture was previously in a different form and has been transformed into a sculpture through recycling.
This information is very interesting. That's why I shared, Mike.😊😊

Very nice, clear explanation! Wonderful video about a little difficult matter. We have to remember several expressions with „made” about different objects, for which we use different prepositions depending on the way they
are obtained or produced.
In order to use right prepositions we have to know something about the technology of production some objects, for instance food, or simply to remember correct phrasal verbs.
Thanks a lot, Teacher, for reminding us this very useful lesson!
