I think in the context of your specific examples there is really no significant difference. But "turn into" and "change into" can be used intransitively, whereas "make into" is always transitive (though you can "make yourself into" something).

Matt is correct. Usually, when you are changing some thing, you are doing something active to effect change. When you are turning something, you are usually making a change with a binary choice, such as left or right, bad or good, etc. When you are making some thing, usually, creation is involved. However, in your given sentences, all of them are synonymous to each other.
