The easiest way is by using a script:

Absolutely no idea how to run scripts in illu... they seem hard to me. Cant i do the spiral in some "manual" way?

It is very easy to use scripts.
Download the script.
With your document open select: File > Scripts > Other Script and browse to the location of the script.
Select the script and click Open.
You can open the script in a text editor to change some parameters.
If you want the script to always appear in the Illustrator File > Scripts menu, put the script in the Illustrator application folder > Presets > Your language folder > Scripts

What happens when you run the script from File > Scripts?

Illustrator's built-in spiral tool is not even like the one you want to create, so a script like @Ton Frederiks mentioned is the solution. Otherwise, you may be able to find a vector version online somewhere to download and edit.

They could be, but it's more likely just a line copied and rotated around the centre point.

How can they make it so even if its just a line rotated and what about No5 ?

What about this design can i do this in Illustrator, or is a 3D app needed? It does look a bit hard for Illu

Create the base shape (the rounded star)
Object > Path > Offset path (with a high value to create the outermost star)
Rotate one of the stars slightly with the transform effect
Apply an unchanged transform effect to the other one
Make a blend between them
Expand the blend
color the resulting shapes.
EDIT: Offset path won't get you far: Draw a new, larger star from scratch instead.

I dont understand the "unchanged and plain transform effect" 😞

Just apply Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform and don't change any options.

1. Draw wiggly line:
2. Rotate copies around end point:
3. Draw bounding box and live paint:
