Make is a very common verb with so many usages, and it also makes lots of collocations like make a mistake, make a suggestion, make a donation, make an impression, make friends, .... (The list goes on and on!)
From is a preposition, it usually shows the source of the necessary material to make something else, for example to make jam from fresh fruits, to make pitzza from flour, cheese and other ingredients, to make wine from grapes,...
Hope that it helps.
