They actually make commercial devices nowadays that don't use needles. Its a plastic device you place over the wound, and tighten with what appear to be zip ties.

if you're at home with your full med kit of suture options - something like this isn't the time or place >> you have plenty of antiseptic & some numbing jell go with something more semi-permanent like a couple of stitches or staples ....
