Can you make butter from half and half creamer?

No, you generally cannot make good butter from half-and-half because it lacks the necessary high milkfat content (at least 36% for heavy cream) required for butter separation; half-and-half is too low in fat, but you can try churning it for a long time in a blender, though it yields very little butter. For successful homemade butter, use heavy cream or whipping cream, which will separate into butterfat and buttermilk when over-whipped.
