What is the difference between make a celebrity out of him and make him a celebrity ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
context:
"I think it's the celebrity more than the martyrdom I think that's really attractive. If we're looking at what might cause more of it, it's not necessarily this case. It's like Rolling Stone, putting him on the cover and MAKING A CELEBRITY OUT OF HIM."
(about the Boston Marathon bomber)
I assume it just means "making him a celebrity" but are there any connotations when you use the "making something out of someone" structure?
I'd appreciate some examples along with explanation.

It's hard to explain but it's like they protested him as a celebrity rather than a terrorist.
But that doesn't answer your question. There is no difference (in this context)
