Can I say,

The house is made of / into / from bricks.

Farmers breed ostriches for their meat and skin which is made into / in fine leather.

1. Strictly speaking, it should be "The house is made from bricks" because the form of bricks used in building the house doesn't change form during or after the construction. (EDIT: I think I got it reversed. Use made of)
