Made of vs. Made From – What’s the Difference? (You’ll Be Surprised!)

Have you ever wondered why we say a chair is made of wood but paper is made from wood? 🤔

These two tiny prepositions—"of" and "from"—change the meaning completely! Here’s the simple rule:

✅ Made of = You can still see the original material.
✅ Made from = The original material is transformed into something new.

Examples:
✔ Made of:

• The table is made of glass. (You can still see the glass.)
• Her necklace is made of gold. (It’s still gold!)

✔ Made from:

• Wine is made from grapes. (Grapes change into wine.)
• Plastic is made from oil. (Oil turns into plastic.)
