A building block holder (10) comprises a panel (11) formed of sheet material that has rows of spaced block support elements (14) in the form of stamped, inclined, V-shaped prongs (16). Blocks (12) rest on the prongs (16). A void (28) behind the prongs (16) can receive mortar (24) that fills the gap (26) between the blocks (12) thereby locking the blocks (12) on the panel (11). The panel (11) also includes glue lock openings (34) between the rows for more securely locking the bricks (12) to the panel (11). A plurality of rearwardly deformed portions (35) on the panel (11) space the panel outwardly from a substrate. A flange (38) on a lower edge of the panel will position an upper edge of an adjacent lower panel. The building block holder (10) further includes a shelf (43) for mounting elongated blocks on their ends, a corner element (52) that fits on the corner of a building, and a Jshaped panel edge connection (66).
