you can use make when you create a result. You can use make for things with a physical result, like m
for physical results, its common to use make with food and drink, like make a sandwich, make a cup of coffee, or make pizza. You can also make a toy, make a chair, or make a shelf, if you do it yourself. You can say that companies make things; for example: apple make the iphone, or honda make cars.
for non-physical results, there are many possibilities. You could say make a joke, make a suggestion, make a friend, or make an appointment. Its also common to use make with money words, like make money, make a profit or make an investment.
do means to perform an activity or a task. For example, you do work, do the washing-up, or do everything.
make means to create something and/or produce a result. If you make a shopping list, make dinner, or make a presentation, then you create something; theres a result at the end of the process.
thats the basic difference between do and make.
you can use make to mean produce a reaction in someone. Similar to the last section, this could be a physical reaction, as in:
they make my face really puffy.
they make my eyes water.

you could also use it for emotional reactions. For example:
the news made him angry.
thinking about what he said made me happy.
finally, you can use make for reactions which are both physical and emotional, like this:
it was such a sad film. It made me cry for hours.
hes so funny. He makes me laugh all the time.
